Hi everyone;
I did my first oil change today on my car - yes, first since all oil changes were done by someone else but me. Anyway, I removed 6 quarts of oil from my car. I have read that the oil capacity is 4.25 qts. I added 5 qts with a new filter. The funny thing is that the dipstick barely makes it to the first mark. With 6 qts removed from the car I'm betting the person who changed the oil in my car was being guided by the dipstick reading - logical I guess.
Are there different length dipsticks for M20 engines? Any part numbers I could fetch down?
I do have an oil leak so I need to monitor the level but I would like to have a reliable reading.
Thanks in advance.
