Thankyou Tony and all makes sense, I did put 2.25 in as was a first fill post rebuild but then topped it up (mistake) , lesson learnt (finally!) and your homemade dipstick now being deployed! Again thankyou.papasmurf wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 11:01 amThe 2.25 litres is the first fill for a new engine or after an engine rebuild.
The nooks and crannies in the engine and cylinder head hold about 700cc which does not drain out at an oil change.
That is why I made the dipstick, which is for use on a cold engine. 1.3 litres at an oil change is sufficient.
There been a mass of comment on the forum about over filling Electra Xs.
