i am pretty sure its about 4.8 or 4.85 litres. best off adding bit by bit and keep an eye on the dipstick....you should be doing that anyway, regardless on what the book says to put in! have fun

Wrong.....;) Oil Capacity 4.8L for VT- VX

The VY gain a greater oil capacity due to a bigger sump.

Done a search

I'd say its 6.1L:whistling
