    Pretty close to 5 litres, depends how much you can get out.
    If you let the oil warm right up before you drain it, you should get most of it out, and add about 4.7 litres then run and check and top it up until its full.

    just put about 3.5 liters in then check then add as it easier to add then take out but it should be around the 4.3 liter mark.....

    Come on guys... honestly, who measures? Just fill it up bit by bit (letting it settle) until it reads full on the dipstick, then check the day after and top-up as needed.

    Sif measure
