Thread: The most basic question of all time

Do a search. the info has been posted before.
5.1 litres in the sump
0.56 litres in the filter

Thanks for that, the 260 odd related posts were a few too many for me to go through.

One last question though, alot of people seem to be saying you need to replace the washer on the plug when you change the oil, is this true?

It is always best to replace the washer on the sump plug, but not mandatory. When you replace the sump plug, make sure it's tight, but don't wind it in so tight that you damage the thread in the sump. There is probably a torque value for this, but I don't know what that would be.
