Ron:
I have the same problem that all these other guys are having; with five quarts
in the sump, my dipstick is showing way overfull, even after I have run the
engine and circulated the oil. My 260 has the reproduction dipstick and tube
also. All this being said, though, I guess the bottom line is that the 260
sump was designed to hold five quarts of oil and no matter what our dipsticks
may read, we should be putting five quarts in them, correct?
