318ml of 10W oil if you have stripped them and about 270ml of oil if you have just drained them. That's per leg. After you have added oil, stroke the legs up and down till you have all the air out, fully extend the legs and then set the oil level 357 mm from the top of the leg with the valve in place in the bottom. Changing seals is a bit tricky unless you have a rattle gun. It shouldn't be that dear to get a bike shop to change them if you just take in the legs.
