Why not? 11qt sounds about right.
Thanx. I wasn't sure, that's why I asked. It's been awhile since I had to convert something.
I wonder what weight and name brand the oil was?
Weight in AMG? Probably 0/5W40 Mobil1 or Petronas MB229.5 approval.
11 quarts! That's one way to deplete an oil stash quickly, own 4 AMG Mercs.
No plastigage on the rod bearings during installation?
Also the exhaust comes out center of the engine where the intake manifold usually is. Guess not enough room for turbos on the sides.

Yep; my 3.0L V6 AMG took 8 quarts.
Plastigage is actually a very rudimentary way of checking bearing clearance
Well, he is German...
The turbos spool faster when they are in the valley. Less distance for the exhaust to travel and lose heat on their way to spinning the spinny wheel.
CS, what mileage/months are you changing the oil in your AMG Mercedes?
Plastigage is for us driveway hacks. Everything in that engine was measured using state of the art tools.
My 2008 E-350 takes 8.5 quarts. In the US, it's Mobil 1 that's the supplier of oil for Mercedes. At the dealerships it's 5w40, but 0w40 is pretty common at the stores. Strangely enough, the 2011 E-350 only takes 7.5 quarts, same M272 engine but newer body style, W212 vs 211 on the 2008. Both are 4matic but I think it also differs if it's just RWD.

What in fudge Mercedes was this? They have a pedestrian assembly line like any other company for probably 95% of their vehicles in production...

I was changing it every 5K, but the AMG is no longer in my stable, the Rubicon took its place.
