Oil be bogarde.......

[QBee]

.....if I can remember how much oil the engine takes between top and bottom mark on the dipstick - the one in the engine, not the one typing this.

I know it's 1, but 1 pint or 1 litre?

[gruffalo]

litre on a standard sump but if you have an extended one...............

I do indeed have an extended sump.

I managed to read it as level with the MIN mark, though the oil is only 1000 miles old so pretty clean. I put a pinta in, but couldn't get a reliable reading off the drip stick, though I thought it was reading half way between marks.

I will stop there and do the 110 miles to Snetterton on Wednesday, then let Peter, Mat Smith and John Halstead fight over who shows me how to do a proper job , and then top it up to the top mark.
