Oil capacity

Hi

Nothing in the manual to say how much oil is needed to fill up from the min to max marks on the dipstick. Is this 1 litre?

Cheers

Yeah I think its about a litre. Pretty sure the manual says somewhere- in the text by the image about filling with oil. Don't ahve it to hand though. As Joshy says, do half a litre or so and see how its going- you can't easily take it out if you overshoot ;)

My petrol FR guzzles oil unpredictably so I have a big 5L tub I use to refil (more economical than lots of 1L bottles)- hard to gauge accurately so I try to err on the side of caution on each top up.

Thanks all
Yeah it was a litre on my prev. car too.
Not had the Leon long and in 1000 miles it was down to 1/3 of the dipstick. Had a long trip at NY so after the advice I just put 0.5l in. Will keep an eye on it now, esp after reading all the posts on oil consumption on the 2.0 tfsi
