Where should the oil be?

[Jamesstone]

Ever since i bought my clio i've not acctually found out what level the oil should be on the dip stick, i've owned motorbikes before i moved to cars & the dip sticks have max & min markings where as this one has just min ( pic below ) at the moment the oil level is just below the groved part, is that right? ( i cleanned the dipstick then took the picture )

Which grooved bit you on about?? The little one at the bottom or the box like bit??

 

[Jim_RT]

Isn't the groove at the far right the min mark and the little notch on the left further up the actual dipstick the max mark?

Lol I hate these easy question, I always get them wrong.

 

[Jamesstone]

Thats where i filled the oil upto on the last change.. not sure if its right though

 

[Jamesstone]

The bit right at the end ( far right ) says min on it & theres a little line there so not sure what the grooved bit is

1.2 16v??

 

[RSTuning]

4 litres i think

 

[Jamesstone]

1.2 8v ( D7F engine ) 3.7lt when renewing filter.. just wanted to double check on the dipstick but dont know what max is

 

[RSTuning]

Autodata also says 4lt with filter

Yeah 3.7litres is right, it must be a early mk2ph1? As they updated the d7f and the later ones had plastic yellow dipsticks with clear markers.

 

[Jamesstone]

Yea its the first one, my m8's one ( 1.2 8v ) has a totaly diffrent looking intake manifold.. any one know what the power output is of the d7f engine?

 

[davebem]

60hp but If you RR'd it I bet it wouldnt be any more than 58hp.

 

[Jamesstone]

I'm guessing thats at the crank aswel oh well its what i'm stuck with until insurance becomes half decent for a bigger engine.. is it true the 1.2 16v puts out over 70bhp?
