Bought a 2008 L175 with a little over 1000 hours on the clock. I have no maintenance history, so decided to do an immediate oil change. The manual claims a capacity of 8 litres or 2.2 US gallon. So that is what I put in. I started and ran it, shut it off and checked the oil only to find it WAY up on the dipstick. I then went and measured out the old oil in the pan and came up with about 6L or 1.6 US gallon. After dropping two liters of oil out of the machine, it is now showing full on the dipstick. Is it possible the manual is wrong? The dipstick is remotely located just inside the rear door for convenience and makes its way to the crankcase via a long flexible tube. Is it possible the end of the tube was damaged and they shortened it, thereby sending the dipstick further into the crankcase? Does anyone have a similar machine to somewhat confirm capacities? Thanks all</p></blockquote><p></p>
