Oil fill level for 4BD1

Hi.

48 749 did not have a dip stick when I bought it.
I have since bought a second hand one but it came from a 4BD1 with a different sump and thus the dip stick markings are wrong.
Could somebody with a Perentie 4x4 measure the distance from the inside of the sealing cap to the "full" mark please?
I have filled with the recommended volume of oil but I would like to make sure of the levels in light of Barefoot Daves post above.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much

Put six litres in mine without a filter change and it was on the top mark. After a run for ten minutes it settled back to half to two thirds between the marks. That will do me! When my filters arrive I will see how far it drops when I put a new one on.


Cheers, Mick.

So is that 6L with a truck sump or winged sump?

Not sure...whatever is the standard sump on the 4BD1 in the Perentie!


Cheers, Mick.

Does it look like a normal car sump or does it have a wing out to the passengers side?
