Reply to "Oil Change on VMC 2332 Engine"

Many of us have learned the hard way, especially with engine sizes over 2,000cc to run our oil level just half-way between the low and full marks on the dipstick.  Filling it all the way to Full often causes oil to be pushed out of the dipstick tube or out from behind the crankshaft pulley (big pulley at the bottom of the engine) or from the oil filler neck.

If you have a deep sump (very common on the larger engines) it is far less critical to fill it up to “Full” so slowly fill it to halfway between the marks and you’ll be fine.
