Default how much fluid do I need?

Hi guys, I am planning to replace all the fluids including tranny, diff, engine oil, and brake fliud, and I am wondering how much fluid do I need for each oil. Thanks in advance.

^^^I think those numbers are rounded up, since that is the quantity you need to buy. For example, the gear oil, you need less than 1l.

all motul? trans and diff you go with OEM right? Brake you can go with motul but engine oil, RP and Motul are pretty equal. I used to use Motul for my Engine oil but my most recent oil change (a week ago), was RP.

just make sure u don't go with brands like castrol, mobil

I do not know the full detail and some people prob don't care, but a knowledgeable mechanic and also an active racer of mine told me not to use those. Also, Mobil here in Canada is different from the one in US. US ones are much better. Just go with either motul or RP. You can't go wrong with those.
