The manual says it take 4.3L.I'm hoping I'd get away with 4L with it being near the top of the dip stick.

Mine took 5 litre perfectly

As above, it's says 4.3 litres but I use the guts of five each time which is strange?

Rather. I always seem to come back with some spare from 4.5L?

With a question like this, I wonder if you've bought oil made by Castrol? :think:

I always wonder why they sell 4 litres not 5. The best thing to do is buy an extra litre of oil in case 4 litres don't fill. If you don't use it you can use it as top up oil in the future.

I bought 8 litres of castrol edge this morning, 65 in total, 20% off at halfords. It would have cost 50 anyway for five as the same bottles are rather expensive

Castrol, 4 + 1 as the capicity is only 4.3-4.5

Used some of the spare with the plug out just to run through the engine, couldent hurt, then topped her up

yeah,It's 4L of castrol edge.Being a tight ass I was hoping not to spend another £10 for 1L but I might have to
