    From memory, I believe the owner's manual says 3.8 litres. I've
    always used 4 litres. I change the filter every time.

    If you can, use Synthetic. Mobil 1 is highly regarded.

    I've always used 4 quarts, that fills it right to the top of the hash marks
    on the dipstick.

    You need a manual for a 240, it will save you money. Look on ebay for
    a Bentley or Haynes manual on Ebay.

    It holds 4 quarts. I always use Mobil 1 and a Wix oil filter on mine.

    Holds 4 quarts. Change the filter and 4 quarts oil when it is hot,
    start the engine and run it for a minute. Let it sit for 10 minutes
    then check the oil level on a flat surface.
