Is 5L enough?

[SimonBradley]

I've read that the engine takes 5L of oil, but I've also read 5.5L? Will my 5L be enough?

Just a simple oil change maybe 5 ltrs.
If changing the filter also, then probably more.
Its best to buy 2x5 ltrs, do the full oil and filter change then you have enough spare oil for topping up for the next few thousand miles at least.

Ah ok, its going to be a full service with Oil filter, so im best off buying some more.

Cheers!

Book says 5 litres, however most find they take about 6 litres to max. on the dipstick.
