Oil Indicator - each bar represents how much?

Don't have my service manual with me and did a quick search and could not find an answer.

Question is approx how much oil does each bar represent on the oil level indicator.

Thanks.

about 1/2 quart - only add 1/2 qt at a time, then recheck level. within 1 line of full is plenty - no need to top it out - check your manual for verification for adding oil.

How many different answers will we get - IIRC, owner's manual says each bar is 0.4 liter

From the Owners Manual:

One segment of the display corresponds to a top-up quantity of approx. 0.42 quarts (0.4 litre).

The difference between the minimum and maximum marks on the segment display is approx. 1.3 quarts (1.25 litres).
