DIPSTICK
I have been having trouble with my Baja Turbo showing enough oil on the dipstick. I put in the amount per the owners manual for at 4.2 quarts and it would not be full. Last night I was surfing and saw where the Turbo cars have are dual cams and need 4.8 quarts. I have not added the additional 19.2 ounces, but I believe that will top it off. I bought another dipstick and it was the same as the old one. Has anyone else found their owners manual to be wrong?

Re: DIPSTICK
Are you draining and filling or changing the filter too?
Stop being OCD and measuring your oil by the 1/10ths. Buy a 5qt jug and top 'er off. You'll burn that much before you check it again anyway.

Re: DIPSTICK
You are correct, from now on, it's 5 quarts. The vehicle has settled down and is running well. I plan on changing oil in both differentials in a week or so.kamesama980 wrote: Tue May 05, 2020 6:57 pm Are you draining and filling or changing the filter too?
