Micra Oil Change (easy DIY / How to / oil filter part numbers)

[Ajijic]

The manual states oil change with filter is 3.5 L, however when I placed only 3 liters the dipstick shows a full change to H. I suspect there is enough residual oil in the system to overcome the need to add the extra 0.5 liters.

3.5 liters?? My manual says 4.3 with oil filter change.

If they are the same exact engines, then it most likely is the oil pan.
