That's because the oil capacity for your '06 (and all Gen 3's) with a filter is 11 quarts. Sorry, no help for the '08.

The oil capacity is 11 liters.... my 08 manual actually says 10 BUT the there is a separate yellow page which states that the manual has an error and that the capacity is 11 and the yellow page replaces the original

There's no benefit to having more oil than the factory recommended operating amount (assuming there's no misprint). In fact, there are potential adverse issues from adding an extra quart.

From the 2008 service manual:

11 quarts or 10.4 liters Mobil 1 0w40 or equivalent synthetic motor oil.

Speaking of which, I'll be doing my 11 quart post break-in change this week, as soon as I get the 08'-specific filters from Mark at Woodhouse.

Crap, I had not checked but I assumed the filters I had left over form my departed '06 would fit the '08. Do you have a new part number?

Bosch makes a oil filter for our 08's now. (Filtech part # 3410) Its less than half the cost of the stock filter but weighs only 11oz and has 3 internal mounting threads.
The factory filter is weighs 15 oz and has 5 internal threads.... the sides seem stronger also.
