2001 Mercedes Benz C240,V6 engine takes 8 qrts of oil (or 7.5 L).But when you do oil change you MUST pour in 7.9 arts or 7.4 liters because when engine gets hot oil level goes over the maximum( 8 qrts) and activates the oil level sensor (that reads: "reduce oil level").In order to avoid it you MUST pour in 7.9 qrts or 7.4 liters (which is little bit less then maximum).
