Hi Mowog,
When mine was 2 notches down, I put in 500ml (1/2 a litre) and it read spot on.
Hope that helps.

Cheers, Craig

Approx. 300ml per notch.

Thanks guys. Next question that was used in 6624klm. Would you consider that excessive?

Mine is there at 3600kms. The D3 soaked oil into the block at first and has not used any since.

Over 40,000ks on the clock and have never needed to add oil between oil changes. Having said that, I change the oil every 13,000ks. Haven't noticed any real drop in oil level at any time since I have had the vehicle.

The D4 has 51000 on it that oil was used in the last 6624 klm.

Looks like I need to get mine checked out.
Any white smoke mowog?

I have travelled over 116,000Klms in my D4 3.0Lt.
The most I have seen it down is 2 notches.
Have been getting an oil & filter change every 13,000Klm's from new.
