I have wondered about the
oil volume as the engine was supplied without a dipstick so i purchased an aftermarket one which needed to be cut to length.
I believe (from Ford Forums) that the standard sump, which I "think" I have, holds 5 litres. So i put this volume in and then cut the dipstick to indicate correct level.
Any better ideas to determine if I'm running too little
oil?
I'm not running a cooler.
Bearings maybe......the condition of the bottom end if the engine is unknown, it's a donor with who knows how many km on it!
Chris, maybe pulling off the sump is the go after checking the other suggestions.
