Hi I've just bought at 1982 Caravelle 82, 2L gasoline. I do not yet have an owners manaul (but I've allready got the Haynes). The oildipstick has some amrks, and I am curious about the definition of these. There are the normal 2 "twists" at the end. Just above the lower twist there is a notch. Haldway between the 2 twists there is another notch. Does anyone know the precise (as it can be with old cars) def. of capacity between notches? I guess that the upper notch is maximum engine oil? Or is it the upper twist? It seems to be that currently the engine uses 1 liter / 300 km... So I need to find out how much I can fill in (and I do definately not want to overfill)... Best regards Jens Jakob
