5.0l (5.28 Us qt.) for 2.0T?

Hi everyone,
I am driving 2.0 turbo in Canada, and in my manual there is a sticker on engine oil volume and it says 5.0L (5.28 US qt.) over 4.6L.

The first oil change, I did it at the Mr. Lube and I told them to fill it up to 5.0L, cus that is what manual is recommending.
I've brought it to the dealer for the second oil change and I told them about this and they didn't clarify it is 5.0L; however ensure me that they will take care of it.

When I deep stick it, with 5.0L, it goes little over the max line, and this was the case when I first drove it to home.

Anyone knows which is the right volume of oils?

Every oil change I have ever gotten showed a slight over fill. And I am talking about my 2 Hyundai's and the 14 Mazda's before them. I check after the engine is warmed up and let the engine sit a minute or two before I pull the dip stick. Pull it, wipe it, back in and out. If I check cold it is ALWAYS over full, not by a bunch but over filled. Never have had a problem in the engine lube department.
I don't think the difference between 4.6L and 5.0L will hurt anything.

 

I've always found that just adding the nominal drain/refill amount will overfill an engine sump - I guess it doesn't all drain out.

I start by adding 1.0 L less than nominal refill but rounded down to the litre - so adding 4.0 L if the nominal is 5.5 L - I start the engine, check for leaks, stop the engine and dip the oil - adding enough to get over the Minimum mark - then next morning when the engine is cold and fully drained down, I dip it again and bring it up to 0.25 L below Maximum.

I've done that for decades with good results.

It's probably not applicable to petrol/gasoline engines but diesels don't like being overfilled especially as any fuel getting past the rings into the sump simply increases the level - as diesel doesn't evaporate at normal temperatures.

 

Thanks !

i'll just combine this thread with the thread i created a little while ago: http://www.hyundai-forums.com/dm-2013-santa-fe/162801-fluid-capacities-pocket-reference-guide.html

 

The enines now take approx 500 ml or 1/2 Quart more oil after the dipstick recall.
