Mysticblue asked the same q:

Unfortunately still unanswered. In theory always under fill, slowly top up.
Worst is overfill. Even my SA could not quantify (when I asked) but after every dealer change the vehicle status, oil check displays green, ok. So how do they do it, logically the quantity has to be spelled out somewhere.
Please see the 6th or 7th post where I provide a link to detailed specs for the 50i. That same site has all the specs for all the difference engines. As I am mobile now, I can't easily search / browse that site.
