When would you use liters?

When something is a litre or more it is probably better to use litres (maybe if something is 1/10 and above of a litre). It's just that when you talk about something about 1ml or so, it can be confusing to mention it as 0.001 litres. say if you have a nanolitre and you state it in litres, it becomes 0.000000001 litres (you have to look at it for a long time to figure out that it's a nanolitre).

Getting to 1000 litres, it's possibly better to start saying 1m3 (assuming the people reading it have the understanding that a metre cubed is 1000 litres)
