EP3 oil changes... how much does yours need to fill up???

[The Dave]

Hi guys, just had an oil change done on my 2004 EP3 and it's drank 5.5L oil (5L bottle and half a top up!)

Is this normal?! lol obviously it needs it, just a bit surprised is all

4.7 litres excluding the filter rings a bell for an EP3.

Yup its 4.7L as I just had oil and filter change.

Put more in and you will see a lot of smoke...

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I had this same issue whilst doing an oil change recently. According to the dipstick it wasn't even above the min level after 4.7L of oil.

How could this be?
Should I just fill up with 4.7L and Ignore what the dipstick is saying?

Fill it up to the dip stick then do a few miles in it and check it again. If it's gone up then drop some out.
