Engine Oil Capacity Finder
Find the correct engine oil capacity for your vehicle class — avoid overfilling or underfilling your crankcase with precise volume guidance.
Engine Oil Capacity Finder
Suggested crankcase oil volume by vehicle configuration.
What is the Engine Oil Capacity Finder?
The Engine Oil Capacity Finder gives you a quick reference for how many litres of engine oil your vehicle requires for a complete oil change, including the oil filter. Select your vehicle engine class from the dropdown and the tool immediately displays the standard crankcase capacity for that configuration.
Using too little oil risks engine damage through inadequate lubrication. Using too much causes foaming and can damage seals. Getting the quantity right is essential for engine longevity.
Why use our Engine Oil Capacity Finder?

Frequently Asked Questions
Use the tool as a starting reference. Always verify against your specific vehicle's owner manual, as different engine variants within the same model range can have different oil capacities. The figures shown represent typical values for each engine class.
The capacities shown represent a full oil change including the oil filter. If you are only topping up (not draining the oil), add only the amount needed to reach the maximum marker on the dipstick.
Overfilling can cause the crankshaft to whip the oil into foam. Foamy oil cannot lubricate properly and can also damage crankshaft seals, leading to oil leaks and engine damage. Drain excess oil immediately if you overfill.
No. The oil capacity is the same regardless of whether you use 5W-30, 10W-40 or synthetic oil. The volume required is determined by the engine design, not the viscosity grade.
Battery electric vehicles do not have an internal combustion engine and therefore do not require engine oil. The motor unit is typically sealed for life or uses its own cooling fluid that is not user-serviceable.
