daz205 1 Posted October 6, 2006 somehow i think my engine has a larger sump on it maybe from a diesel i have no idea why or if it has any benifits/drawbacks for it, but i was planning an oil change this weekend do i fill it to the marker on the dipstick or do i put in the recommened amount for the engine with a normal sump, weird Q i know and i plan to change the sump to a normal one when i have sorted the other problems out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philfingers 5 Posted October 6, 2006 So long as the dipstick is the correct one (and the dipstick tube too!) then fill it to the correct marker. You may have a deeper sump, then it will take more oil BUT it still needs to be filled to the design level. My theory anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daz205 1 Posted October 6, 2006 yes everything else is correct i was just worried about the extra oil blowing gaskets when under pressure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
