Well, one for the future anyway.
I have just changed the oil in my Lehman SP130s. Nothing unusual about that for most of us.
I sucked it up through the did stick hole, Once again nothing out of the ordinary. What leads to the trivial pursuit question is next..............
I decided to add the flexible hoses that screw into the sump plug hole and allows the old oil to be sucked from the lowest point of the sump (for subsequent changes).
To save a bit of mess as I figured there would be some oil left in the sump due to its angle, I put a catch container under the sump - I was very surprised when 2Litres (about a quart)came out and thus the trivial pursuit question......
How much oil is left in the sump when oil is sucked up via the dipstick hole............Answer 2 L or about a quart.
I guess it explains why new oil starts to go dark pretty quickly - amongst other things its mixing with 2L of old black oil.
Cheers
