Derek, what does the installtion manual say? it says 4.5L API oil. That
is about 4.73 quarts. DO NOT TRUST THE HASH MARKS ON THE DIPSTICK. btdt!
If i just put in oil till the hash marks are 'wet' i'd have about 1.75
quarts of oil in my rig.... From Peter B (and Kyle from Volkscafe): Add
4 quarts, cycle the oil (as in run the engine). Then mark that as your
low point on the stick. Now add another quart & again cycle the oil. Now
mark that as your high point.  In the ideal world that would be the top
and bottom of the dipstick, but in my case (and a few others) it ain't
the case.
