Engine Oil

Hi all.

 

I have been looking for the thread about the amount of engine oil that goes in a Jap TT Auto, but to no avail.

 

Can anyone help me out??

    7 litres? At a guess? Maybe 7.5.... I'm sure someone will know!

    3.7 litres (with oil filter change) sounds about right though. I know I have just under half a litre left of the 4 litre container of Castrol RS I used last time.

     

    I guess the best way would be to put in 3.5 litres...let it settle for 10 mins, then top it up as required, leaving it a few mins inbetween.... till its the right level on dipstick.

    No way! My BMW 325i's took 7 litres! How come its only 3-4 if they are 3.0l engines? Sorry, I know I sound thick!

    Thanks all

     

    I got a bit worried cos the mechanic at the garage said it took 6 litres!!!

     

    Just rang him to say its about 3.5litres. Makes you feel like a right plum telling a mechanic how to do his job, but dont want him to damage me zed.
