Don't forget to allow for the oil that will drain down into the filter. Best to start with the right amount of oil so you are sure it's filled properly.

7 liters (1.85 US gallons) and the drain is 50Nm (37ft pounds).

typically, I drain and fill the oil then change the filter to lose less prime through the pump.

if you just slightly loosen the filter, it will stream behind the power steering pump and not get everywhere.
