Engine oil should be checked when the
oil is up to temperature. Always check
immediately after the engine has run
to avoid any oil draining back into the
sump. Ideally hold at approx. 3000 rpm
for 5 seconds, turn off the engine, and
then check level.
With the engine hot, the oil level
should be approx. 20mm below the
second baffle as shown by the red
arrow in Figure 5.2.

Figure 5.3 helps show a method of checking
the engine oil is at a safe level to run the car.
The distance from the top of the neck to
20mm below the second baffle is 165mm.
Marking a T-Bar or other measuring device at
160mm and 170mm gives a min and max
line. The measuring device can be lowered
into the oil tank until the neck and then
removed. If the oil mark is in between the
min and max lines the car is safe to run.
