6-Speed M/T Oil Capacity ???

Is there a misprint in the ESM for the 2K2 Maxima with respect to the oil capacity of the transaxle?

The 2K2 shop manual specifies transaxle oil capacity as 2.3 litres (4-7/8 US pints). This translates to roughly 2.5 quarts. I know the 4th and 5th-gen 5-speed trannys took about 4.5 quarts. Has anyone here with a 6-speed changed out their tranny fluid yet, and if so is this a misprint? It appears in several places in the shop manual consistently as "2.3 litres". Doesn't seem possible.

Wow. Then it sounds like the info is definitely NOT a misprint. Bummer, since I already bought 5 quarts of MT-90 !!!!!
