4 to 4.5 litres of premium engine oil should be enough.......do not overfill it though....

Also it is recommended to replace the compressable washer on the sump plug.

I plan to do 'intermediate' oil changes between the 7500 services
(Well just done the first one anyway, as only recent got the car)

I would do the full 7500 and 15k services myself (many many years experience working on cars), but in order to maintain the
extended warranty, and resale value,
will now have to get them done at a garage.

Jake- Is a straight forward job. Just drain the oil and remove the oil filter. Please make sure U used a good oil filter and engine oil.
4.5L of engine oil needed .... happy draining.

Just one thing to remeber is that you should fill the oil filter up with oil before putting on the car and then the car should take exactly 4 liters of oil to fill it up.
