    ecotecs take about 5L when u change the oil filter at the same time...make sure u fill it then start it wait till it gets oil pressure turn it off then check again cuz it will go down as it fills the oil filter.

    You got a handbook? It's all in there on the specifications page. I think it's 5.6 litres with filter.

    its best to put an extra .5 as they can suffer from oil surge with hard breaking/cornering,acceleration
