Ok, so for the first time when checking the oil it's looking a bit on the low side. Time to top up methinks but have I got it right? This is a wet sumped engine so you drive around for a bit to warm it up, stop for ten minutes and then check the level, no? I've got the 8.3 litre engine if that makes a difference... Am I reading it right?

Cheers,

Andy

manual says to leave it overnight before checking, if the oil level is at the low end of the 'SAFE' marking youll need to add x2 quarts
