Technical Engine oil amount?

[everson38]

Hey guys

I have a GP TJET 2009. In the manual it says it takes 3.3 litres with filter which I do work too. But dependant on lighting and brand new oil sometimes it looks slighlt over filled and other days normal ish.

I've recently come across a website that tells you engine oil capacity for you car AND out of 5 cars it's got all right bar 1 which is mine, saying it takes 2.6 litres.

So ideally any GP TJET 2009 owners who do their own oil changes can you tell me what you measuring at.

Thanks again

i always check the dip stick.. add some more, check again.. when it's just under full.. i start the car leave it to idle 2-3 minutes.. check the oil level again should be closer to the middle;
I Always buy 4 liters of oil.. but usually only open the first 3 bottles when changing. the 4th is for topping off if necessary (usually takes about 0.5 liters between changes)
