"My 1977 318 doesn't have
"My 1977 318 doesn't have a flange on the oil dipstick so I'm never sure what the correct oil level is. If you push it all the way down it looks overfull etc. As you can never really be sure how much is left in the pan when you suck out the oil, this has always concerned me because I don't want to over fill it. Does anyone know where the flange should be relative to the ring on the disptick? I'm guessing about an inch from the ring. The manual says it holds 5litres but I've never put more than 4 back in."
