[ndsolo]

Dear All,Last week when I changed to Liqui Moly I called up my mechanic and was told that Engine Oil capacity for my car is 4.5l. I read somewhere in this foum it's 4.25l. Anyone knows what is the Engine Oil capacity, to avoid overfill?Thanks very much.

IMHO the 0.25l excess won't cause much of a damage to the engine, hence don't worry too much ..

With my former I have experienced difficulty to start my car when I over fill my engine oil hence today I keep just at almost max level.
