My first post so be gentle with me....
I have a newly acquired Sylva J15 kit car with a 1.7 Zetec S VCT puma engine and I am in the process of changing the oil. The book says approx 4.6 litres but I’m struggling to get 4 litres in before the reading is over MAX on the dipstick. Is this a problem unique to me or is it common? I can only presume that a fair bit of oil is left inside the engine/sump after an oil drain?
