The Trouser Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I've tried to search for this but unfortunately couldn't find an answer If my dipstick is on the low level mark - how much oil should I add to get it to the high level mark? TIA TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Add enough until it reads just under "Max" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.r123 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) CS or Zedmanalex will be able to advise you correctly, i think it's between 500ml and 1L but i'd get them to confirm that mate Edited February 16, 2014 by tony.r123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 From low to high marks on the dipstick on a DE engine is 1.5 litres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) No seriously, if you do an oil change it's 4.5L, oil change with changing the oil filter it's 4.7L. But since you are near the MIN marker it's difficult to tell. Just take a reading on the dipstick and then add a little and read the dipstick again, do so until you reach the desired level. Do not add 4.5L, only do so if you are changing oil. Edited February 16, 2014 by BulletMagnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Do this while engine is cold. Inbetween fills allow to settle for 5-10 mins to get an accurate reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trouser Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 From low to high marks on the dipstick on a DE engine is 1.5 litres Thanks to all - I'm sure I've read somewhere previously that it was 1 - 1.2 LT - so thanks for the info - that will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
