5.7 liters or around 6 quarts in mine.

Failing any official information, do your oil change on a level surface. Then fill until the oil is at the top mark on the dipstick. That'll tell you how much oil it takes.

Or, you could heed the advice already given by someone that actually has a EA288 powered car, and has completed 11 oil changes while owning it. For some mysterious reason, it takes six quarts every time.

That's because 1 liter equals 34 ounces US liquid !!! Unless I'm mistaken, even in the USA you buy oil by the liter and not quarts! Most of the world is metric !

( 1 L = 33.813484 ounces ) to be exact !

Thanks for the lesson. If you read my unedited post, you will find that it begins with "5.7 liters". Additionally, the OP is from Iowa and is likely comfortable with quarts, which remain very common when it comes to oil containers in the heartland of the USA.

What brand of 504/507 approved oil comes in quarts?

I don't use 504/507. The question is irrelevant since I gave him capacities in both liters and quarts.

What oil do you use in the 2015CR in your sig?
And I hope the OP does follow the manufactures recommendations rather than thinking he knows more about oil then VW does.

The Castrol at the dealer (Edge Professional LL03) as well as Total Quartz Ineo. Generally speaking, the oils made in the US come in quarts and the ones made in Europe come in liters.

You endeavor weakly to entertain. I won't play along.

VW demonstrated how deep their corporate knowledge went in the lubrication arena when they came out with PD engines AND the silly 505.01 oil spec. The suggestion that a thin 30 weight oil could keep those silly, narrow cam lobes from contacting the followers resulted in many damaged engines.

I will make the decisions regarding protecting my engines, not blindly trust VW.

Well alright....... I have not used either one of those, the dealer has used Castrol in my car but they buy the Castrol in 55 gal drums. The Castrol 507 oil I bought in 2010 came in 1 liter bottles.

Touche!
You already have played along!

I guess you don't like a challange eh?
VW's silly, narrow cam lobes are an engineing fault on VW's part yet you bought another VW TDI without considering that VW may have made another engineering mistake. Oil aside.
OK, it is not my call not to use 507 spec oil maybe yours but I have not heard of any CR engine failure or shortened lifespan due to VW spec 504/507 oils. Have You?

Yeah cause the CRD is exactly the same as a PD

While it's great to question somethings, making blatant miscorrelations between engine designs doesn't make much sense to me.

Either way, as long as the oil will keep the DPF healthy you're starting off on a good foot.

I think it's safe to say this is not going to happen.
