Slowboy 20,477 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 So you can see when you've over filled it on the "calibrated" area, in common with pretty well all dipsticks I have come across. My C90 and classic mini and my wife's Panda are/were the same. My Volvo has some electric system and no dipstick apart from the one behind the wheel... Link to post
Mike5100 2,061 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Wow. No I hadn't spotted that. Will take a look tonight Mike Double checked just now and I had used the correct mark. Oil is exactly where I left it 2000 miles ago so my contention is that they underfilled it by 300cc at the first service - not good. Mike 1 Link to post
Guest aldmannie Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 300cc underfill better than a 300cc loss from knackered motor..... Always look for the positive angle and life will be happy Link to post
