Re: Oil Change Intervals

[Peter Orban <ORBAN@amtds5.iamt.nrc.ca>]

I was just reading the owner's manual of "new" 4000 SQ. It says that
the car needs 3.5 litre of oil with filter change, and 3 litre without
it. Is that correct? My '88 Jetta, with just 4 cylinder, needs 4 and
3.5 litre of oil respectively. I sthat possible, that 5 cylinder
engine needs less oil than a 4 cylinder? Is that because one mounted
lengthwise, the other sideways, or is it just a misprint?

Thanks, Peter
