Do you screw the dipstick in for reading level?"[b]HOW MUCH OIL DOES THE 270
"HOW MUCH OIL DOES THE 270 OUTDRIVE HOLD?
Eventually none, if the drain plug and dip stick do not have new O rings installed.
Well, I'm only half teasing... but that is important.
You'll also want to read the flat spot on the dip stick. Oil can be just slightly above the half way point of the flat.
Give the oil ten minutes to level out inside of the hollow vertical shaft..... or you may get a false reading."
