Wish i'd have thought of that

Put 4.5 litres in ran engine let it settle and had to use the whole 5 litres to top it up to the full mark.

What an interesting thread

Plenty of people reccommend 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Ive just done mine, put the full 4ltrs in at once then used a 1 ltr tub to bring it up to level - think it took 4.3ltrs. Reckon theres a conspiracy against scoob owners. Most tubs of oil are 4ltrs so you need a single 1 ltr carton

4.5 ltrs with filter change.Dont fill to the dot/hole on dipstick.Put 4 ltrs in then run engine,turn off and leave for about 15 mins.Check oil level and top up until level hits max.

Dont fret, thats fine - as long as its not over the full dot - even then marginally over will not kill anything.
