I need to know the exact quantity of Engine oil for the Tata Indigo’s 475 IDI TC engine .
The service manual recommends 5.5 lit though the 475 IDI NA diesel used to take 4.5 lit. only if i am not mistaken.
On filling 5 litres only with filter change the dipstick max. mark is breached by 2/3 mm. Somebody suggested that maybe half lit.of old oil remains in the sump, which personally i am not sure of.
I suspect it takes only 5 lit. but since most Tata’s motors consume some amount of engine oil through the drain interval of 7500 km / 6 months , it may take say about 250 ml more ( over 5 lit.) as top up.
But 5.5 lit. at the time of oil change seem unlikely.
Is it one of the Tata typos?
I read that earlier Vista manuals too specified 3.7 lit of oil as against about 3.2 taken by the same engine in swift / fiat.

The point is you’ll realize that you are probly being charged for half a litre more only if you get the oil changed outside the TASS.
Can anyone shed light on this ?
