X300 4.0 Oil capacity

I doubt there exsists a car engine that'd take 81 litres
8 litres will fill up the filter and get the oil level exactly to maximum on dipstick. That's a fact.
I haven't tested it yet, but I think 7 liter would do the same, except that oil level would only get to the min on the dipstick (meaning you'd be running low on oil, not good). I'm not sure on that one though, as according to some posts, difference between min&max is 2l, but I'm quite certain it's only 1l.

8.0 L / 8.5 Qts:
The manual squares with the experience I have made: it takes one quart to move from bottom of the range (x-hatched) to the "M" and an additional quart to move from "M" to top of the range:

I took time to document this weekend's top-up:
Here we are just a fuzz above the min X-hatch mark:
Addition of (near-as-makes-no-difference) 1 US Quart* later, and I'm a fuzz short of the "M" mark:
*Using a gallon jug, filled to just above the 1 Qt mark - dumped it all in and let it drain a few mins, not really sure how much remained clinging to the sides of the jug.
