Oil capacity MB

Maybe a stupid question, but wondering. Did oilchange on a VW passat 2000mod 1.8l and its 3,5liter oil with filterchange. Then did the W202 1.8l and its 5,5l or 6l dont remember, why so much oil on these engines?

Dilution is the solution to pollution.

Its like when you build a engine right,high volume oil pump,and increased capacity.Gives oil time to cool a little.

The OM617

has a sump capacity of 7.5 USg. I once had an old Jaguar that had a sump capacity of 12.5 USg.

As others have said, for a wet sump engine, more oil is better in terms of cooling and dilution of products of combustion. A dry sump engine may have less but filtering and cooling of the oil is more complicated and critical.

It will also give you a longer running time before the oil is as dirty/trashed as an engine with less oil.
