    I was gonna say 6 litres so if youre doing it yourself you will have to buy two 4 litre packs.
    Or a four litre pack and two one ltres so then you can keep a litre in the car for the occasional top up.

    Synthetic oil lasts longer than a filter's lifespan. I recommend to always change the filter with every oil change.

    IMO, it would be better to change the filter once during the oil change period and reuse the oil than the other way around.
