Its so akward dut to all the kinks/bends in the pipes. I got told from on of my mechanic mates depending on the oil viscosity (specification) that you use. I initially thought you could just fill it between the markers and away you go but you are better to check the oil when the engine is fairly warm as the heat thins out the oil and gives a true reading.
Anyone shed some light on this? and correct me if i'm wrong.
