- Assuming I top up at the halfway point, how do I know how much to top up? When the low engin oil warning comes up, it says to top up at least 1 litre. Would 1 litre be too much to top up at the halfway point?
1: yes, max just means full.

2: whenever it's below max

3: pretty sure the volume of oil between min and max is 2 liters, so if at the halfway point add 1 liter.
