How many Ltrs of oil do I need

[RobF]

Going to do an oil change on my 3ltr, does anyone know how much oil they hold. I notice now days they sell oil in 4ltr cans knowing it will not be enough to do a change with. Even my car needed 4.5ltr.

expecting to need two cans but thought I would check!!

strange how they changed the cans from 5ltr- 4ltr!

Hmm.. I just did my first change and the oil seems to be over-full after 5L - odd?

I let it drain for 1/2 hr, and changed the filter...

You will need to run the engine for a minute or two to refill the filter (its a big one) and then top up again.

I buy my oil in 25lts.
