Engine oil Capacity?1.8T.

Ok ive done lots of searches on this site but have yet to find anything that makes beleive what i read is correct. I changed my oil and filter yesterday and im confused as to what is the correct amount.

The manual says 4 litres

Halfords says 4 litres

Some on here say 4 litres

Some on here say 4.5 litres??

The reason im asking this is after i put the full 4 litres bottle in my car and left it to stand for 10 minutes the dip stick showed a little over max.

i started the car up and let it run till it was up to temperature and then again switched her off and left to stand for 10 minutes. This time checking the dip stick it shows just over min? i understand the oil is now mixed around the engine but surely it shouldnt be down this much? or is it because i should have put 4.5litres in to compensate for the filter change?

Hope ive made sense

Thanks

So 4.75 is the correct amount?

Off i go to buy more oil, not really driven much so shouldnt have done any damage.

Why doesnt every where else say that its more then 4litres, also what a bitch it was getting the filter out of the engine bay!

Thanks guys

Yup i loosened the filter from below and went to try and pull it out through the bottom and buggerrr!!!!!! while messing around trying to pull it out most of the contents of the filter went half way down my arm. Then managed to wiggle it out through the top with alot of difficulty and spilling it all over my very clean engine bay. Nightmare!!!!

Well i now know for next time! and ill be filling the .5 litres up tonight!

Thanks
