Is the quantity of motor oil represented by the distance between the bottom marker and the top marker of an engine dipstick an international standard? If so, how much oil does it represent?
In other words, is there a standard amount of motor oil that it takes to go from the bottom marker of an motor oil dipstick to the top marker?
Not sure it is an international standard, but for my car the volume to be added to go from the low mark to the high mark is 1 litre. 1 litre is 1.76 imp. pints (or 2.113 pints over the pond...)
Whether this is always true is questionable as some engines have a larger sump than others due to their design and number of cylinders...
