Oil Capacity?

Ok, I'm 99% sure its not in the manual. Does anyone know the oil capacity for a Clubman S? I'm knee deep in the change and not sure how much to put in.

I know...I must be lame. Sorry for the stupid question.

When I stopped by service to get pick up some oil, one of the SAs told me it was 5 quarts.
I haven't done it myself though, so have a grain of salt.

Ok, I went the 'checking the dipstick' route and it looks like 4.4 or 4.5. I saw in another oil changing thread that the drain plug is a T50 Torx. Well, on the Clubman, its not a Torx, its an 8MM allen.

Just an FYI. Thanks for the help!

Yeah its kinda odd because some people's drain plug is the torx and others the allen...mines the torx haha

Goodluck and I'm glad you get to finish the oil change

Mine is the T50 as well. Make sure you are not looking at the tranny plug as this is much smaller but on mine it is a T30 and the plug is stainless. Oil capacity is ~4.5 quarts on the clubman.

Some Coupe engines seem to have the Torx and some the allen. Seems random. Best to check before buying tools (if you don't have them).

Just did mine today, 4.5 quarts filled my base R55 Clubman to just below the "full" mark on the dipstick. My thread on the change is here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=140527
