Here is an approximate oil capacity for each of the smart engines.
These capacities are for filling a new engine. When you do an oil change, you will not be able to
remove all of the old oil so a replacement oil capacity may be a little lower. Purchase your oil
using the capacities below but fill according to the level on the dip stick.

These are oils that smart recommend.
The recommended viscosity depends on the climate of your country.
You only need to use 0W oil if your country's temperure is likely to dip below -30°C (-22°F)
You only need to use 5W oil if your country's temperure is likely to dip below -25°C (-13°F)
You only need to use 10W oil if your country's temperure is likely to dip below -20°C (-4°F)
You only need to use 15W oil if your country's temperure is likely to dip below -15°C (5°F)
Using 0W is unnecessary in most counties and it's actually not good for the engine to use it.
Most countries would be fine using 10W oil but this grade seems to be unpopular with oil manufacturers now so
it's much harder to get. Most have now moved to just creating 5W oils so most people are forced to use that.
