get a bit more, 5 litres in mine only took it just above bottom min notch on the dipstick, extra half litre sorted it to spot on!!

It's less in a Valver than a Williams, which is why people's figures may vary.

On the internal guage i fill mine so its at the red line so to speak, on the proper dipstick its nob on. As soon as it drops of the red line on the internal guage i know its lost a litre. This usually takes about 2 months lol.

p.s, the red line on the guage is actually white but you know what im sayin :wink:
