Re: How much engine oil needed for f30 320?
Please make you life less stressful and use the engine oil dip-stick as guide to fill the engine oil. From the min mark to max mark it takes almost 1000cc or 1 litre...so the workshops ain't wrong to quote you 6.5l to 7l.
Also if you are concerned (confirm you will from the way you've expressed) after the job done just pull out the dip-stick and check again.
You are very lucky that me converse with you in almost proper England......please don't make me do it anymore...can!? stress lah.

No offense intended to you, so please don't think I'm trying to imply anything about the models being advanced yeah?
Sometimes I feel the more advanced the more problematic. Oil sensors can't beat a physical dipstick for long term reliability.
Hondas aren't cheap anymore. Not with our coe structure.

Re: How much engine oil needed for f30 320?
Just to recap my findings since starting this thread (cos it's been flooded with a lot of irrelevant and less-than-useful responses), it seems that from owners feedback (SG and otherwise) - an oil change would require 5 US (for the metric-obsessed I've met in this thread) quarts (tip for all the MX trading/Giant hypermart customers) or 4.73176 Liters (for the math-obsessed I've met in this thread).
Some points I have heard is that its safer to under fill slightly and do a computerized oil check followed by top up if necessary. I personally feel slight underfill is better than any overfill.
No, the bloody car manual doesn't state anything on this. No, there is no physical dipstick to check.
So, you probably don't want to pour in 6 US quarts (5.67812 Liters) straight off (horror! google can't be wrong! Oh right, it depends how you apply the info). Maybe 6.1 US quarts is the true oil capacity of the N20 but suitable only when the engine is completely drained. I don't know for sure, but i'm going with 5 US quarts (4.73176 Liters). I've run over 6000km and current oil measurement is still at 100% so oil consumption is q low.
I'm only bothering for the benefit of other owners who may genuinely need the info. I hope it saves you from posting separately and having to go thru crap, caustic responses like i did, to get barely 5 genuine, relevant responses. If anyone wants to know more after i'm done with my oil change, feel free to PM.

Re: How much engine oil needed for f30 320?
Just to share:
I did my servicing @ PML using my own choice of EO, that was in Feb when my ride was nearing 5000km.
I brought along 7 quartz (946ml x 7), collection time they returned me 5 empty bottles + 2 unopen bottles.
Servicing charge with own EO was S$96-97 (Just EO servicing).
Hope this information is useful for fellow ppls.

Bro, you bought the F30 320i for your parents! Great! I am the one you PM and we discuss 316i vs 320i.
Anyway, most AD I go to do this as well. I always give them back the empty bottles and ask them to dump
for me.
