      It is a lot of oil when you pay for the oil change :P
      Working in a shop selling parts for US cars, customers look upset when they find out they need to buy 10+ liters of oil, but it depends on the car, some diesels need a lot of oil.
      My own car which has a huge engine, only needs 6 liters at an oil change if I swap the filter as well (which I do at any oil change,) and that's a 8.2 liter V8. (1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille for those curious, it's a 500cid engine.)
