How much oil?

Is it the '07 counterbalanced engine? If so then it's 1.1 liters , just put 1 quart in and then add a little bit at a time till you get it right. Better to be a little under than over, overfilling can cause oil to seep past the rings which is baaad for a new engine.
<BTW> I've been using Rotella-T 15-40 in mine with good results. Watch using regular automotive oil as it can cause clutch problems.
