Next was the oil change.

Thanks to this forum and rasa, figured out I would need 6.5L.

Wanted to know what make the Original filter was.. so (go on see if you can guess)
So bought an original filter to see who makes it.

Yep.. Its MAHLE again.

Bought 2 of Castrol Edge 5W30M oils and headed down to a local indy as I didn't fancy jacking up and doing the work. (my trusted old indy had retired from doing mechanical work during Covid, so still on the hunt for a good mechanic, recommendations welcome)

On the ramp for the oil change.

I only ended up putting in about 6.3L as I do remember with these cars (or at least the F10) that you would get an oil overfilled warning if the oil is at max and the DPF dumps any more fuel in.
6.3L made it near the MAX line, like around 90% mark.
