Re: What is the Citroen C4 engine oil volume ?
Yesterday I also changed oil in mine. Filled with new oil about 0.5 l less than the specified amount.
Started the engine and I let it run for a short time enough for me to back it off the ramps.
Engine off and wait for about 10 m. and checked the oil level and topped up the missing amount.
So far I never had to fill more than the specified capacity.
As addo also questioned the new oil must circulate the engine and also the new oil filter before topping up to the final level.
Finally reset the service interval counter

Edit: I HAD to search for a C4 Owners Manual In page 155 it gives the capacities as below:

1.6i 16V - 110 kW ------ -
1.6i 16V - 103 kW ------ -

Re: What is the Citroen C4 engine oil volume ?
I've just had an service interval on my car (as in the signature), the total amount of oil that went in it was 5.7 liters ... in theory it was supposed to be 5.2 ... so, it's better to leave half a liter margin while purchasing oil canisters.

@addo yes i start the engine for about 4 minutes.
