A full drain (sump off) I used about 5.4L, 5L could be enough but I would buy a 5L and a 1L to be sure and as a top up  :happy2:

If you're just changing the oil and filter, have 5+1 litre as at first you won't use it all but as the oil gets soaked into the new filter and burnt a bit in the engine you'll soon need the extra 1 litre to top up over the next few weeks.
