Default Oil capacity of a 718S

Prepping my 718 S for an oil change. For the life of me I can’t find the capacity? How much oil does it take?

After my DIY posting, I found the specified 6 Quarts was a tiny bit below the Full line..

For me? it ended up being 6 and 1/3 Quarts to make it perfect.

5.7 liters. Better to leave the oil slightly under full than at max fill.

One more question regarding oil...I have a 2017. But only 4K on it. The change oil alert is coming up. Obviously cause it has been more than a year. Should I change it now, or wait, til 10k Miles? Usually change all my German cars at 5k, even if the intervals are 10k.

Oil is changed on time or mileage, which ever comes first. It's 1 year or 10k miles. So change it now.
