[QUOTE="Colin, post: 160651, member: 1953"] [B]I'm sure this has come up before Don't trust the mark on the stick unless you have actually measured the amount of oil in the box. My box always seemed to be leaking when the level was at the notch on the stick. So I drained the box to find nearly 2 litres in it. I refilled the box with 2 pints and found the existing notch on the stick was above the oil. I made a new mark on the stick which was lower and correct for 2 pints. Remember the dipstick is a piece of spoke screwed into the "handle", so it may have been replaced with the wrong length/mark at sometime [/B] [/QUOTE]
