Pretty sure that's where the oil should read. Between the 2 marks. If information technology's below the lower mark and so yous need to add oil. _________________ Primal Jersey VW Guild Wanted: Art Collins VW (Savannah, Georgia) items - license plate surrounds and other items.

If when you exercise an oil change and add the proper corporeality. Start engine let is run for a few minutes. Stop engine let the car sit down on level ground for say 10 minutes then bank check the dipstick. I think that is the total reading for your engine reguardless of the style of dipstick. _________________ Volkswagen: We tune what nosotros drive.

Endeavour adding this amount and see if that brings yous to the total mark. I bet it'due south close. Agree. Capacity charts show oil capacity in at least 3 unlike ways. 1). two.v litres - Oil is sold in litres in Canada and so this is the amount I utilise in both my stock 1600 dp and 36 hp and it brings the oil exactly up to the full marking on both dipsticks. two). 4.4 majestic pints which is 2.two imperial quarts. 3). v.three US pints which is 2.65 United states of america quarts. In the "BugMe Videos" they say to add together 2 3/4 US quarts and keep the residue for the oil bath air cleaner. _________________ 1960 beetle 1970 protrude convertible

I have a Brazilian example with a 2 quart add together on sump, a spin on oil filter, an oil temp thermostat, and an add on auxillary libation under the auto in the air flow. the stock doghouse cooler is in identify. 2165 engine My question is: how much oil should I run with this set up? I've heard also much oil is about every bit dangerous as not enough. Where'southward the happy medium and how do I transfer that level to the dip stick reading? I have a VDO dipstick oil temp sensor.
