approx 4.5 litres

DON'T overfill otherwise the excess oil will burn a lovely hole through your CAT!

[Rhyso]

thing to do is to see how much you drain out of the car 

then when refilling, keep checking on the dipstick from about 3.5 litres onwards 

[coolio]

    after filling about 3.5 litre ,u will need to start the car up and let it run for about a minute and re-check the oil again .

But if you start it and then wait a minute or two the oil temp would have increased and not give a true reading
for a true oil reading the car needs to be cold
