MIN and MAX marks on Dipstick

PostPost by: david.g.chapman » Fri Sep 06, 2024 3:50 pm

Just a quick question - can someone tell me the oil capacity difference between the MIN and MAX marks on a twin cam dipstick. I have a dipstick with the marks about 20mm apart....

Just realised the marks are labelled FULL and FILL!
