OIL REPLENISHMENT.
MARKING THE DIPSTICK. Refilling the sump is a slow job, especially when it has been entirely drained, but if the process has to be stopped from time to time to take a look at the dipstick then thb task proves tb be even slower. Time can be saved by marking the dipstick in pints, so that when it is removed for checking the level it is at once apparent just how much extra oil is required to bring the level to its correct height. Marking the tell-tale in this manner can be effected by filling the sump with a pint of oil at a time and marking on the stick the height reached at each filling.
