Title: 280SL Dipstick ?
Post by: Douglas on July 20, 2004, 13:28:37

What is the measurement from minimum to maximum on the dipstick of a 280SL? Is it one quart?

It is actually two quarts for some reason.

I was surprised to add a quart when down half way on the dip stick!  I now know to check the oil more often and that what appears to be a small decline in the oil is actualy something to act on.
