Oil capacity for a 1.6 diesel?

Post by bernard1973 »

Hi
I'm changing the oil on my 1.6 diesel (non turbo). I've put about 3.75 litres in but the dipstick is showing well over the limit - but it's old black oil so I don't think I'm getting an accurate reading. Can anyone tell me what the capacity should be? I've tried a search on here and the wiki but can't seem to find this info - sorry.

Cheers
