Information oil eaton M45

Good morning,
My name is Leo and I live in Rome, I have a Mini Cooper S (R53) in 2005 which 160,000 km path, my mechanic changed the oil in the supercharged Eaton M45 and put 300 ml a Engine oil (GM) on the side of the pulley and 300ml of oil on the side of the water pump. And 'the exact amount? Eaton recommends 145 ml side pulley and 40 ml side of the water pump ! What is the right amount? Too much oil can eventually damage or make the car go slower on acceleration?
Thanks for the feedback they give me.

I don't think you could fit 300ml in the water pump drive end. 300ml in snout is a lot but should be fine.

6+ oz(180ml) in snout and 2+ oz(60ml) in rear is what I used.
