How much engine oil should be added to a Mercedes-Benz S300 V6 engine?

[DiIsabel]

Mercedes-Benz S300 V6 engine requires 8.5L of engine oil. Adding 8L only fills slightly more than one mark, not reaching the second mark out of a total of three marks. 8.5L is just right. Related to engine design: Generally, the larger the engine displacement, the more engine oil is required. For example, a 1.5L displacement engine typically requires 4L, a 2.0L requires 5L, and a 2.5L requires 6L. However, the exact amount of engine oil needed is not necessarily directly proportional to the engine displacement. It mainly depends on the engine design and the size of the oil pan. Impact on engine performance: The exact amount of engine oil to be added is not necessarily directly related to the displacement. The maintenance manual specifies the required amount of engine oil. Adding too much or too little engine oil can affect the engine's performance. General principles for choosing engine oil: Viscosity selection: This is the most important characteristic of engine oil. Simply put, it refers to the resistance of the fluid when flowing. Engine oils are categorized into summer high-temperature types, winter low-temperature types, and all-season types suitable for both winter and summer.
