- Hi Mark, mine takes 4.5 quarts including the filter and I don't have a dented oil pan; although I used to. My dipstick touches the bottom of the oil pan when it's pushed all the way down, I wonder if

- Andy and Ron, The oilpan is not significantly dented, and yes my dipstick seems to hit bottom. I guess I will just keep an eye on it. Also my oil pressure seems a bit higher. It used to run about 40

- Marc & Andy, Maybe a stupid question from a Triumph guy, but do you both have the same engine, or do one of have a 1500 and the other a 1600? Wouldn't that make a difference? I'm not an MG guy, but I
