im either gonna be running too much oil or not enough.

if i drain it how much oil will it take? not changing the filter

[schakal]

yes it is if you took the first measurement not long after
turning the engine off

[JonniP]

[schakal]

engine been off all day

you took the first picture right after you turned the engine off the
day before ? i see what you done there

[JonniP]

lol
no seriously i checked level the other day and it did this but the engine was warm so just tried again as the car has been off all day and its doing the same thing.
is it 6.3l of oil the f7r takes?

[Purple]

I think full up (with oil filter filled) should be about 5.5 to 6 litres.

I take it you are taking the dipstick out, wiping the length of it, replacing it and them removing it again and taking the level?

That first picture looks like you've just taken the dipstick out after the engine has been running, be it 2 hours ago or 24 hours ago

[MAXIBOY]

been though this thats wiping and removing the dipstick standing on level ground etc..

that either side removed at the same time....very odd..

i never seen that done..lol..

best to drain and refill
