Hello,
Last fall I got a 1999 Capri 1850 with 4.3L Merc.
Trying to change engine oil and got an issue. Before changing the oil I saw the level on the dipstick is above full. ok, I pumped out the oil (warm engine), Waited some time to let the rest oil get down. Few more moments with pump. Great, empty. Strange, overall I pumped out like 2-2.5L of oil??? Changed the filter. added fresh oil, approx 2L, checking dipstick - above level. WTF??? waited, check again - too much. Pumping out "fresh" oil. Coming out like 2L of oil. Oil is dirty. Not as the old one, but not as clear as I would expect. inserting dipstick no oil inside. poor back in the same 2-2.5L - over the level. Found spec for the dipstick - length is correct.
Does someone have an idea of what is happening? I am not a mechanic, but stuff like oil change and other basic services for my previous bot, cars etc I've been doing all my life.
Thank you
