How much oil?

Post by Bobreoc »

Might seem like a daft question.

I have a van with a 1z conversion, I’ve been made aware the dipstick hasent been modified so I’m due and oil change and wondering how much oil I need to put back in, as I can’t measure it.

maybe put in just 4litres and mark the stick andthen having put in 4.3litres mark the stick and then add 200ml and mark it again, that will give you low and cold full and hot full marks, drill a hole for 4.3 and notch for low and high is a good way of marking stick that many engines use
