It should be in the manual or the drivers handbook if it's not in the d22 section. Fairly sure in the back of the handbook you'll find all the fluid measures.
4.3 litres with a new oil filter, 4 litres without.

Nissan don't change the oil at 1000k's, so it would have been the initial fill from factory. By the way, does anyone know what oil supplier Nissan use in the factories? I know BMW are contracted with Castrol and Mercedes Benz were with Fuchs as an example?

It seems most dealers are using Shell Helix 5W30 (D40) and prob the same for the '22,
tho 5W40 is the go for the '22.
But some dealers use other brands as mentioned,
and by the way Nissan have their own branded engine oils for the D40/'22 that they actually dont use themselves???.
The oil will never be "clean" even only 5 min of running after a new oil fill, and black is the right colour.

That seems a bit heavy weight and cheap in price for Nissan oil 2.5 CRTD
Last time I enquired bout their own oil for the '22 they said, and I've seen the bottle,
the oil nissan have is something like 7W-30 'full syn' which by the way is needed for the D40's DPF, if you have one of the D40's...'auto's'.

Synthetic lubricants are engineered to do the job of a conventional lubricant - but they do it much, much better. Think of them as bionic lubricants, if you will! Though a bit more costly to produce and, therefore, more expensive to buy, these "super lubricants" can actually save you money in the long run.
All lubricants fall into one of three categories: liquid (oil), semiliquid (grease), and solid (graphite). All three are derived from vegetable, mineral, or synthetic base stock. However, were these raw materials alone used to lubricate modern, high-precision machinery; they would quickly overheat, catch fire, evaporate or emulsify. To guard against this, all lubricants are doctored to a certain extent - processed to remove impurities and bolstered with chemical additives. Synthetic lubricants, however, are manufactured specifically to stand up to the severe conditions under which conventional oils might falter. They are designed to possess viscosity characteristics superior to those of mineral oils. The resulting lubricants have a molecular structure that is tailored to meet and often exceed manufacturers' criteria for high-performance engines.
