Question

I take it you mean when your saying Mobil1 your talking about the 15w50 motorsport oil (fully synth) and not the 0w40 rated fully synth??

D.JSI, when did u measure with the dip stick, right after adding the oil? It takes a while for the oil to settle down into the sump, so you get false readings unless u wait a while. 4 L should get u to the bottom of the 2 marks at least. That's what I normally do, give the garage 4L and then top up the balance myself, safer than risk overfilling.
