Oil change without filter change 2.5L
Oil with filter change 2.7L
After total engine strip & rebuild 3.5L    Simples :lol

I believe it's more like 2.9 after filter change?

However, still over half a litre of old oil left every time - damn!

Well the guys on here told me this recently & i had no hassle-


If changing filter also, firstly chuck 2.5l in


Then start up the engine briefly to get get a true level reading.


Slowly top up until it gets to the top level on the sight glass, should be 2.7 but will depend how well you drained it.


The true ammount is irrelevant as it would be irresponsible to just bang 2.7 or 2.9 in without periodically checking the level 8) .
