A 300E should take 6.3 quarts of oil. Check your Owner's Manual to verify. After draining the old oil add 5 1/2 quarts of oil, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, wait a few minutes and check the oil level on the dipstick, then add oil to bring the oil level to the mid-point on the dipstick.
