I was online buying Liqui-Moly Top Tec 6600 for an upcoming oil change and noticed something that I thought was odd. For a 2016 R, 6.5L of oil is needed for the refill, that's about how much I've always needed to get the oil level indicator right. I noticed though that if I selected a 2020 R though that 7.25L is required. Aren't these all the same engine (3rd Gen AJ133) with the same oil pan? Anyone know why would more be required or why JLR updated the fill?


2016

2020

 

The difference in capacity is down to RWD or AWD.

 

I thought the RWD holds more oil, and that was why so many on here reported the newer, AWD cars being overfilled?

 

7.25 +- for Rear drive and 2016 - get 6.5 L

 

Correct, 7.25L for RWD, 6.5L for AWD.
