Before you add any more oil, make sure you checked with the car on a dead level surface. It's very sensitive to this. Any slope will make a big difference on the dipstick.

its a pain to fill. you need a bit off pipe to slip into the dipstick hole and then fill from there. its a very slow process lol

Yup, it's deff a pain to do,

Luckily I managed to get a piece of pipe that fits down it and have a funnel in the other end to pour it into.

Just don't do too much at a time otherwise it tends to try to overflow when the air suddenly comes back up the pipe...lol

Ady.
