That Yamaha takes 1.3 litres of 15w/50, and the amount of oil appears to be the same all across the XT250 range. Be very careful not to use a car oil. Most of them have friction modifiers which will damage your clutch.
Two differences are the LC has an O ring at the cylinder base in addition to the regular gasket, and the LC regular base gasket is about a quarter the cost of the L model base gasket.
i recently did an oil change on mine and a little over a liter came out but im not entirely sure on the exact amount I think it is a 30W synthetic oil
