At the risk of beating a dead horse I ask the following:

My Service Manual for my '00 M2 states the oil capacity is 2 quarts, including the 4 ounces poured into the oil filter prior to installation.

I have read on this forum that the oil capacity for all tubers is 2 1/2 quarts.

Now which is correct? Why the discrepancy? Am I reading correctly? Is the Service Manual wrong?

Go with the two quarts.
This should bring the level up to the lower part of the stick.
Right where you want it for less pukage..

It's closer to 2.25 quarts. I'd not put any less in it and if you go over it's self-leveling (a touch messy).

Keep it simple. 2 quarts is what I use. And 1 quart in the tranny/primary.
