I have bought a product. In the use instructions, it is said to add
3 EL Wasser und 3 EL Öl
Now, I did a little bit of search, and EL definitely is not short for Exaliter. How much is it then?

3 EL = 3 tablespoons. You are probably making the cucumber mix. I found that recipe a bit bland. Would definitely add 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar. Enjoy.– JoeblowCommented Apr 16 at 23:17

El stands for Esslöffel, meaning tablespoon. Unlike US volumetric measurements, it's not strictly standardized, but 15 ml per tablespoon is the usual amount.
For the sake of completeness:
- Tl / TL = Teelöffel, teaspoon, – 5 ml
- El / EL = Esslöffel, tablespoon – 15 ml
- Msp. = Messerspitze, tip of a knife – the (very vague) amount you pick up with the tip of a knife
- Pr. = Prise, pinch – what you pick between two or three fingertips

7For the sake of complete completeness, you should add the difference between gehäuften and gestrichenen Ess-/Teelöffeln ;)– JanCommented May 26, 2016 at 9:25
