You'll need to buy a 5L container of 10w 40

Once your oil is drained and new oil filter is in place put about 3L then run engine on idle to fill oil filter.

Turn engine off, leave oil to settle then check oil level on dipstick and top up as necessary. Theres 1L difference between min and max on the dipstick.

You will need 3.5/4 Litres. Keep the rest for topping up.
