For your infomation and to avoid confusion of all the different oil amounts
Total oil for a completly dry engine is 3.5 L
Without oil filter replacement it is 2.5 L
With oil filter replacement it is 2.7 L
When filling keep the level as close to the top marks as possible as this prevents intermittent flashing of the oil level light with a cold engine.
I have a friend who rang me with a similar problem of filling up the oil but was not showing in the oil sight glass, turned out he had miscalculated the amount and had put in an extra litre. When he was checking the oil sight glass it appeared to be clear but he was looking at was an oil sight glass with fresh clean oil not an empty sight glass as he thought,
