Liters?
Where are you from and where are you getting liters of oil?...haha
Anywho

A liter is 1000ml and a quart of oil is 946ml

so all in all youve only got a little under 2.5 quarts of oil in there.
It should hold at least 3 1/2 - 4 quarts in the pan with a stock oil pan....plus the 1/2qt. filter.

God bless
