More like 4 to 4.5 litres.
Do a search and you'll get a lot of info.

Re: 1.6td 5speed gearbox
4-4.5, but you'l be lucky to get 4.5 in... oil level should be just below the filler plug hole.. (stick you finger in to see) Worth making sure the filler plug will come out BEFORE draining... a GL4 75w90 is whats needed, or a dual rated GL4/5, a GL5 only should NOT be used unless the manufactuer can garantee it wont eat the "yellow metal" items in the box....
