You've probably already found your info, but for future searchers:

From Nissan service manual:

TD42:
With Filters: 9.2 L
Without Filter: 8.0 L

Cheers.

If turbo'd and / or with oil cooler then some more again!
when I do mine, I tip in 10 lts and it still needs a small top up the next check :D

I did an oil change + filters on my TD42 a couple of weeks ago and put about 11-12L in to get it up to the mark.

When I first got my GQ, I was surprised at the amount of oil needed. I checked it and it needed just over 10 litres with the filters... the most recent books had reduced the amount of oil needed.
