Dipstick!!

[the lemster]

Just a quick one to ask if anyone knows how much oils is required if the mark on the dipstick is about half way down... just checked it and thats what it is at... I am supposing about 1.5 litres?... ( yes and I know I shou8d have kept a better eye on it and all that but with christmas some things get forgotten)

dont want to over fill

anyone any advice?

hope all had a good chrimbo and new year

from what i am led to belive - its something like a litre of oil to fill from min to max

thanks

( at the end of the day just fill it slowly and keep checking the dipstick )

I thought it was 1.5l to fill from the bottom to the top of the marker (so you will need to add 3/4 of a liter)

Sure I will be corrected on that

Christ, I was corrected before I could even post :rollin

my figures are for an FC - i thought the FD would be the same ??

[Ricco_04]

Sorry dude. I just ment I was :rolleyes: and knew I would be wrong :cool  (just trying the silly thing of answering the questions rather than posting them!)

Sure enough I was - Manual says : "The distance between L and F on the dipstick represents 1.7 liter (1.8 US qt, 1.5 lmp qt)

Same on the 8 would you believe...

Which reminds me I need to sort out an oil change. Bum.
