Amount of Oil in 420 Sel?

[oscar]

Does anyone know how much oil it takes to fill from empty to full in an '89 420 SEL?

I am about to do an oil change and cannot figure out the amount to buy.

Thanks in advance.

Hi OSCAR
MB manual quotes 400E\500E as 8.1 litres inc\ filter

Yes, 8 litres will do it. I usually buy two 5 litre containers and there is enough left to top up if necessary before the next service.

Just for interest sake: If you want to do an oil change on the car, drain the oil and fill up with some cheap oil and drive around the block. Drain this and then fill up again with the proper oil.

Thanks! Thought around that mark so got 10l of the stuff.
