The 71B hold 2 liters or about 2 US quarts. Be sure to use only GL-4 rated oil in 80-90 weight. NEVER use GL-5. If synthetic, or not sure the container must say GL-4 compatible or 'will not harm copper alloys' or 'yellow metal safe'.

So the oil that I got says this

Differential:API Service GL-4, GL-5

Non-Synchronized Manual Transmission: API Service GL-5

I don’t know if this is what you meant?

 

You have a synchromesh transmission. They use bronze (copper alloy) synchro rings that will be attacked by the extra additives in GL5 gear oil. Use only GL-4 gear oil or marked 'safe for copper or yellow metal'. If in doubt don't use. gato nailed it, NAPA will know.

For transmission, two foot of garden hose and a dollar store funnel that will fit the end. Run it down from  the engine compartment.

For Differential get oil that comes in a squeeze container with a nozzle.
