        It will be about 4.8L if you drain oil from the cooler.

              The theory being the cooler is the lowest point and holds oil you wont get out via sump?

                Get 5L

                Approx 4.5 for a sump drain only oil change.

                I cant remember if the cooler is lower than the sump, but it forms a U so oil does not drain out, it is forced round in normal use.
