How Much Oil

[fil]

I belive my dipstick dosnt read correctly so i cant tell how much oil the car needs.
As im about to do an oil change i wanted to know how much oil to put in
Thanks heaps

From the manual for a US Staz.
Crankcase 3.8 lt
Oil filter 0.5 lt
Oil cooler 0.4 lt

Put 4 litres in, it'll be fine. There will be a little left in the motor after you drain it and chuck the filter.

Has someone cut the end off as a gag?
Or is it a left handed one in a right handed sump LOL

4.5 lt from memory

I have a workshop manual for my 86 I'll confirm that later

Do you have the problem where there's different amounts of oil on each side of the dispstick?

[Chryzla]

if that happens just measure the distance inbetween and call it centre.

I also had this issue so I scored my own markings on the Dipstick
yeah its roughly 4.5 litres

See if you can borrow somebody elses, compare and mark it yourself

mine takes five litres, but that is prolly because the oil cooler has been moved further away... but then again the sump has been made smaller... i would put in a random value between 4.5 and 5 litres :)

a random value gets my vote :D

my brothers ex gf's car had a dodgy dip stick.. it was about 2 inchs shorter than mine, so she could only check the oil when ever i was at their house or they were here rofl
