Oil Dipstick Confusion

Postby need4speed » Sun Jun 24, 2018 4:27 pm

Doing an oil service on the custom. It’s got the 2198 engine.

According to the owners manual this should hold 6.2l of oil including filter. A few concerns.... Firstly I drained 8l out it. Secondly the dipstick appears to be the type for the 2.0 engine going by the pics in the owners manual.

This means that when I put the recommended 6.2l in, it was way above the max mark on the dipstick.

Has anyone else come across similar?

I've had a problem with my 63 reg from new with the oil level increasing due to fuel contamination and constant DPF regeneration. For the last 60k miles I've kept the oil level at 3/4 full mark and had no problems with the DPF, the last two dealer services they left oil at 3/4 full rather than topping it right up.
Search for oil level there's loads of old posts but I can't copy a link for some reason.
