What does the Owners manual say for the EVOX?

 

5 quarts for me

 

I'd try the Evo X section of this forum and you may have better results. I'd guess its around 5 quarts as well. And not to be a dick but you own the car. Open up your glovebox and take a look. If you dont have an owners manual I suggest you purchase one.

 

The last time I checked all car engines have a dip stick.

 

^LOL

Although I was checking the oil for my boss's wifes Mercedes and come to find out that it didnt have a dipstick. The oil level is monitored by the computer and tells you when its low and how much to add. I hate that btw

 

And most if not all have no oil drains bolts either. Fun Fun

 

Yeah you've gotta use a vacuum pump to get it out...good times

 

some M112 and M113 MB engines didnt have a dipstick, but there is a "special tool" dipstick that reads in mm to verify the oil level. I like using that vs the instrument cluster when one comes in the shop, its more accurate. They all have oil drain bolts but some shops and some techs prefer to suck it out. Ive never been a fan of doing it that way. I gotta raise the car to inspect it anyhow.

 

^^ beat me to it! A lot of the newer BMW's were the same way, good bit of newer Porsches as well. The Panamera you have to drive the damn thing 7 miles before it will even check the oil. ****s rediculous what the jackass german's have been doing.

 

Should be 5 in the car, my oil cooler holds about .5 qt so I have to put in 4.5 every change.

 

I usually put 4.4-4.5 quarts in mine and that puts me right under the full notch but still between the 2 notches so its good to go.

 

5.5 for a bone dry motor?
