Oil dipstick quantity range
After searching around, I have a rough idea of how much the distance represents from low mark to high mark on the dipstick, but nothing actually definitive. Does anyone know what the actual quantity difference is between the two marks?

"The distance between L and F on the dipstick represents..." 1.8 US qt.

From page 8-10 of the owner's manual.

Why couldn't they just make it 2 quarts. How the heck are we suppose to estimate what .8 of a quart is? It bad enough the dipstick is harder to reach then that itch on my back.

Blame the US measurement system. 1.8 US quarts is almost exactly 1.5 imperial quarts or 3.0 imperial pints. :p

Thanks B-Nez...yet more proof positive that reading English works best left-to-right THEN top-to-bottom. What was I thinking all these years? :D

Most of the oil containers are marked in ounces. 0.8 quarts is between 25 and 26 ounces. Simple.
