That's 11.3L for the civilised audience.

For reference, my 3.6L 6-cyl boxer needs about 6.5L according to my service notes.

My 3 cylinder 1.0 litre Citroen takes exactly half that. Interesting.

		But that's an inline engine, right? I think a model based on engine layout, displacement/cylinder, and cylinder count might be quite good at predicting the necessary oil (and will tell you when your car uses a bit too much compared to everyone else).

Liters are not SI units.

Metric isn't magic.

It's not ergnomic nor designed around the human body or everyday experiences.

It started arbitrary. Then was defined as in terms of the wavelength of radiation from krypton-86. (the meter was 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of that particular transition to match the original arbitrary metal bar)

Then they based it on the distance light travels in an arbitrary amount of time (1/299,792,458 of a second).

These were all decidedly non-human scale measurements with no actual scientific basis. Yes they used scientific references, but theyre all arbitrary references.

		I didn't say it was SI units, but it's easily convertible to them. Metric isn't magic, but it's a cohesive set of legos that can be transformed easily without requiring messy arithmetic and hard to memorise scale constants. Are you not pretending people use the modern, most-precise definitions in the day-to-day just to give yourself a stab at claiming that Metric is awful? Non-metric would face the same dilemma when trying to establish units in a way that can be scientifically replicated. The counter point is that non-metric is so bad that people don't even bother using it in this endeavor ;)

		Virtually the entire world but the US is using metric. I guarantee you you would be able to adapt without any problem
