Mercruiser 1.7 dti - Engine oil - How much/What type?

Hi all,
Guy who bought my old boat is wondering how much engine oil and what type the Mercruiser 1.7 dti uses?

No smart comments needed, it's not my engine!

Oil capacity is 6.5 litres.

Requirement
To help obtain optimum engine performance and to provide maximum protection, the engine
requires engine oil with a rating of HD-SAE-API CG-4, CH-4.
Recommended
Mercury MerCruiser strongly recommends the use of:
• Mercury Diesel Engine Oil
This oil is specially blended 15W-40 oil with Marine Additives, for all temperature operation.
It exceeds requirements for API CH-4, CF-4, CG-4 and CF-2 oils.
Other all temperature operation 15W-40 oils approved by Mercury Marine and Marine
Power Europe.
• Shell Myrina
• Texaco Ursa Super TD
• Veedol Turbostar
• Mopar
• Wintershall Multi-Rekord
• Wintershall Viva 1

Thats what the book says!!
