Throttle cable is not "hard" but more of a pain in the ass. Will take a
mechanics just as long as you probably. A long time. Dawg |

From a complete Oil and Filter change the spec is 4.5 quarts. Which is about 4 liters. However I usually put In 5 liters as I run mine a little over full. Reason I run a bit over full is I do a lot of High Rpm driving and under hard cornering with high rpms its possible to uncover the oil pump pickup. If you have a stock Oil Pump 1/2 liter over full is more than enough, however if you have a Federal Mogul High Volume pump, I recommend a full liter above full if you drive spiritedly.
So Stock 4.5 qts Drive it hard 5qs Modified with HV Oil Pump 5.25qts (5 liters) |

P.S. The Throttle cable job will require you to take apart most if not all of the center console including the stereo and all bits attached and around it. Its a Pain in the butt time consuming job, but just requires lots of time and a 6mm socket and a 10mm socket. It will go MUCH faster if you have a cordless drill to spin the sockets.
