I lost some info I had saved on my computer, so now I'm wondering the oil capacity for the flat six engine and I do have the external oil filter. Do I add one extra liter of oil because of the filter? Won't it read "over filled" on the dipstick? I'm at about full right now with 5 liters of oil but I'm sure the info was to add another liter?

If it's the external filter I'm envisioning, the oil will drain out of the filter back in to the oil pan.    So I'd say no extra oil is required for the filter.

Either way, run the car.   Shut it off, wait 5 minutes then check the oil.  That should give the oil time to travel back to the pan.

It does drain back into the pan, I guess I'm also wondering when the car is running, the filter would fill up with oil and in turn thinking that there would be less oil moving around in the engine????

Thanks Pete, I did find the info on 5liters needed for the 239, the only thing I need to know now is if or how much oil to add for the addition of the dealer installed external oil filter.
