Hi,
Up till now my engine always got the 6,8 liter motoroil when oilchange was done (including oilfilter but as this is of the 'hanging' type it doesn't keep any oil in it when engine is off I think) and what I noticed was that the oil level was about 1 cm above the maximum on the stick (oil just touched the 9 of the part#), so now I first put 6 liter in it which was still too much, took some out so I'm tend to believe it is more something like 5,5 liter it needs than that 6,8. On another forum someone suggested I might have an incorrect oillevel stick (mine is the same since car was new though), so can one of the early Td4 owners (mine's a 2001) possibly have a look at the part number of their stick to see whether it's the same as on mine, namely: 7 785 931 (see also the attached picture, "niveau met 6,8 l" means "level with 6,8 liter"). Thanks.
