Yes, 10 quarts, same as the standard SS. The 1LE's engine and cooling package is no different.

I have just over 1,200 miles on mine [yeesh that's it!] and at 941 miles I did my break-in oil change, and almost exactly 10 quarts came out.

Just for FYI, the factory fill on my car was an xW-20, based on my Blackstone UOA results.

After the track day, would you guys recommend switching back to 5w-30 dexos2?

The warranty-friendly answer is: dexos 1 5w-30 for the street, and 5W-40 dexos 2 for the track.

The real answer is; whatever oil gives you a rational viscosity at the operating temperature. With the stock "oil cooler" on the track, you'll want at least 5W-40. With an external Setrab oil cooler and oil temps more in the 230F range, a 5W-30 dexos 1 will end up being perfect.

What do you think of Motul, I have always used Amsoil but it's not on the magical list...

Thanks. I checked a few stores and couldn't find a single bottle of 5w-40, with or without the dexos2 badge. Manual said 0w-40 and I've used that oil before with good results in my old RS4, so that's what I went with.

I'll be interested to see how the oil temps do at the track this weekend, but also once the real Arizona heat kicks in and ambient gets up into the triple digits.
