[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 450146, member: 4527"] ~ 6 cylinder N52 is running on 6.5 liters or 6.9 quarts (edited :p) engine oil. If u r 1L short, then u should have 5.5L left. ~ If your 1st oil change was at 8k km on the odo, your subsequent oil change should be +10k km, so your 2nd oil change should be at RM18k km on the odo. And if you already at 16k km on the odo, that means you have traveled 8k km since the last oil change. Short of 1L after 8k km traveled is common for N52 engine even though some say their's remain full. If u intend to travel another 2k km to complete the 10k km, you should top up, if you already book for oil change this week, another 300km without topping up should still be minimal risk to the engine. ~ If you want to wait till 25k km on the odo to do the oil change, top up now is a must, but most of us won't advise using the engine oil for more than 10k km. You shall see sludge in your engine as early as 40k km and overhaul should be at around 80k km. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
