if you have a dipstick, fill it to somewhere around the 'F' mark. even if it's only a 4ac dipstick like mine lol

cold oil will take so friggin long to drain out, take it for a 5-10 minute drive, doesnt have to be a 30minute thrash, just enough to get it half warm....

will take about 10 minutes to drain warm oil rather then hours for cold oil

put 3.5L in then start ur car for 10-20 seconds to let it get oil pressure then turn off, check oil, put more in if it needs it and then start, get oil pressure, and check again, do this until fuul :)

4L with new filter for a stock 4age as i always get 1L left over from a 5L bottle :)

Also cold oil will take longer to drain out, but hot oil ill burn your hand :P (you would also have to wait for the oil to drain back to the sump).
