'02 c32 oil capacity 8.5 US quarts??
so i did an oil change today and looked at the manual. the listed oil capacity is "8.5 us quarts". does this seem a little high to you or is it just me? i put 7 quarts and the in car indicator said it was too low, i put 7.5 quarts and got the same message. at 8 quarts it stopped and basically read "service on time"
<edit>wow wow wow, ok i searched for "c32 oil capacity" "amg oil capacity" and "w203 oil capacity" and came up with nothing. then after posting i searched for "8.5 quarts" and voila..the correct results came up.
the answer i got was this:
8.25-8.5 quarts of oil if you drain the oil from the oil pan and put a new filter in. 7.5 quarts if drained from top.

And if you are using proper synthetic, the oil alone is going to cost you $50.
