Guys, going to do my own service this time round but can't find any information on how much oil I will actually need

I have just bought 4L of Castrol Magnatec, is this enough

It actually lists in the manual the oil capacity, from memory I think it is 3.2 litres.

I drained just over 4 litres of old oil from mine 2 weeks ago. Filled up just over 3.5 and it was at the max. Checked it a few days later and was the same

Ive got oil to do mine too.. but i cant get this damn tray off!! the car needs to be so high to do it, im finding it impossible without a ramp

My old clio 172 had a tray but was never this damn hard to get off!!
