Hey guys. If I’m reading midway between low and full on the dipstick when checking the oil, how low am I to full? Thanks.

 

add 300 to 400 ml and it will be fine , slightly over is not an issue , when you are checking it is it after a run leave for 5 mins on flat ground, as it is the best way to get an accurate reading , there is a second marker above the max a little notch that is for when the engine is hot and the likely place the oil level would be if it’s full

 

After all these years never new that lol.

 

It's a litre between in min and max.

 

getting the correct measurement of oil on a scooby dip stick is a mission in itself part of the dark arts 😂, thats why hot engine flat road 5 to 10 mins after driving works the best , if you do it from cold it can change each time , one side of the dipstick can be higher than the other , the angle the dip stick goes in to the sump and thickness of oil plus how cold oil is impacts this , so best when warm as above and you get a consistent reading 👍😂

 

After leaving it for 5 mins on flat surface, it’s bang on half so based on what I gathered I’ll fill in 400ml. At cold it’s 1/4 up from low…

Never been so paranoid in my life when checking the level

 

Just to confirm

 

Make sure you dip fast aswell. As when ever I do slow, it seems to smear the oil all over the stick.

 

Thanks guys!
