How much Oil....

Will your average Delica swallow?

From a bit of research, it seems that 5 - 7 litres is about the range...

I'm new to the whole diesel game, but that seems like a lot.

I'm a bit curious as to why such an amount; does anyone have time to waste telling me something that is probably quite obvious to most people running diesels? :)

for any information, I would be quite grateful!

6.9 l on a l300 if you change the oil filter as well.

5.5L on my strada without filling the new filter. I wonder if the delica has a larger oil pan? same engine.

Delica has an oil cooling system. The oil rad is located under the shroud that covers the bambie bars so the rad and piping has to be filled up, too.
