Some say 6L, some 7L found one that said 9L! Wondering what the approximate drain and fill amount is so I order enough oil. I did read the checking procedure with the dipstick but couldn't find in any radical manual the dry sump capacity.

I have in my notes to fill to 7 quarts and then do the Oil level check process.

Hi Crit,

All the amounts you have been quoted are correct, depending on the age and spec if the car.

They were built with different size oil tanks.

If you can get 4L bottles of oil I would recommend purchasing two you and will be set regardless of oil level.
