I have bought a 94 Hilux 2.8ltr Diesel and after my first service (in
Perth) found the oil level to be 1cm above the high level mark of the dipstick. The car manual has the 2.8ltr oil capacity at 6 litres. I have just changed the oil (including the filter) with 5 litres of new oil. Ran the engine and found the level to be 3/4 up between low and high mark. Is this correct! Do I just top up to the high level or do I add another 1ltr.
The reason for my question is that the dipstick looks very new and not genuine.
