How much did I used to put in.....hmm, gallons of the bleedin stuff! never did an oil change on the 1.6, for the 1.9 it would be 4.5l I'm sure.
Go get another can, then you'll have some spare, change the filter, drain everything and shove in 4l, turn engine over, let it settle and see where it is on the dippy? Add more as nec.
But you don't need me to tell you that.
