right now I’ve got your attention and I’m sure we’ll have some comedy responses! I’m not sure my dipstick is the right length. As many of you know my van was missing an engine and I’ve sourced bits from here and there. When I came to fill my engine with oil I measured out 3.5 litres and poured it in. Only trouble is it is above the marks on the dipstick. So could I dare ask you to go and measure your dipstick? And also the distance of the MIN & MAX marks please.
Is your round head (type 1) or cavalier (type 4), there is a difference, apparently. Asking for friend! Who says there's no point measuring his if yours is not the same as his.
I need a longer dipstick if they do one as it doesn’t quite reach the oil Will measure it later for you (stock 1600 type 1) Stirlingmoz
Ok, I have a type4 (cavalier) albeit an earlier model. I will check on the dipstick length for you. As we gentlemen all know, size matters.....
Absolutely and it’s always good to get a length in first thing in the morning according to mr goodhew..
