| Engine oil capacity 2.7 TDV6 2008 |
|
Might sound an obvious question but I’ve read somewhere saying 5.7 litres and some saying 6.5??
It doesn’t say in the manual. I’m changing the oil for the first time and looking for a definite answer please?
Thanks in advance

Get 6.5 Ltrs, then you are covered.

5.7 is plenty (and the figure I have seen most places) , particularly if you only drive on the road.
I run mine on 5.2 which is around middle on the dip stick.
