Can somebody please help out with the correct dipstick marking positions (cyl. block with low tube position).
The dipstick I currently use looks correct in line with catalogue illustration, however an oil filling of only 5 ltrs (incl. new spin-on oil filter) already exceeds the max marking. It's distance from bottom end is 36 mms, the lower mark is 8 mms - the upper rubber seal is in place.
Is here something wrong ? Can a spin-on oil filter-, plus aluminium sump conversion reduce the engine's original oil capacity that much ?
Many thanks in advance.
