2.0/2.3 is about 4.5 litres with filter. This is wrong though  ....4.5 litres only just touches the bottom mark of the dipstick
When I do an oil/filter change (after letting it drip for an hour), I can get just over 5 litres in (I use a measuring jug) to get it to the top mark of the dipstick

There you are, that's simple.
A measuring jug is very useful though.
