How much Oil?

[bdubbin]

Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone knows how much oil it takes to go from the low marking on the dipstick to the high marking?

Thanks.

less than a quart for me

uh oh... I had trouble reading the level after I determined I was just below half way between the markings... I ended up adding almost half a liter... do I have too much oil in there now? I'm having trouble getting a good reading.

Maybe a little. Try try to get a good reading. Probably not enough to be worried about tho.

Thanks... that's kinda what I was thinking, too. I'll try again later to get a better reading. I just don't want to drain all that oil out again... it's -24C here right now and though I have a garage it's not heated. I'll just change out the oil a bit earlier than planned in the spring maybe?

1 L = 1.056688209432594 U.S. Qt. If you added less than half a L you're fine.
