| No idea why it’s designed that way, they remove the trays to do the oil changes in the dealership I’ve used - though it’s much easier on a ramp. |

9.8 litres according to the manual. I’ve only ever managed to get about 9 litres out though.

| Sounds like a problem with the wheels. The standard 18” steel wheels fit fine with plenty of clearance. |
