As some of you know I had a leak in my oil feed for the turbo and after trying to repair it and cranking the engine over 3 times oil came out the flange, etc.

Now, I assumed it was only minimal oil (300-500mm) but I thought my dipstick level was at 3/4 prior to cranking and after the 3 tries the level was at the bottom.

My question is what would be the volume between minimum level on the dipstick to maximum level. It's a bit of a "how long's a piece of string question" but keen to find out if someone knows the answer?

I will take a wild stab and say 1-1.5 litres???
