5.5 litres? Sh*te Lee, if you put that much in you'd better drain some out quick.

Scooby, you should have the smaller twin scroll compatible sump on yours. If so it should take around 4 litres. Don't forget to pre-fill the filter prior to fitting it, and if you haven't already been told about the relevance of the crank position sensor, it's worth reading the Oil Change Questions thread further down the forum.

Sorry, 4.5L (I have a 5L bottle of Millers oil and have a little left over having primed the oil filter).

LOL - panic over!

Thats great guys thanks very much!! Hard to get a reading on the dipstick as the new oil is so clean.

Prefilled the oil filter but did not bother disconnecting the crank position sensor
