engine oil top up
« on: October 27, 2014, 01:36:04 pm »
Err, can someone help to give a little estimation if the oil level on dipstick is just below half, what amount would be needed for topup? 500ml to 1l?

Bottom to top of dipstick is 1 litre.

Just below half means just over half a litre to full  :happy2:
