<DIV><SPAN class=822013001-05102015><SPAN lang=EN>
<P>The original dip stick & tube measurements are:</P>
<P>Stick - 24 7/16" from the tip to the inside top of the "bell" cover/dust
guard. </P>
<P>Oil "add" mark 1 1/8" from tip, oil "full" mark 2" from tip.</P>
<P>--</P>
<P>Tube - 15 15/16" overall. 14 3/4" from the top of the "stop/seating ring"
(were it goes into the timing gear cover) to the top of the tube. 7 5/16" from
the top of the tube to the center of the "mounting wing".</P>
<P>--</P>
<P>With the stick installed in the tube, the tip of the stick protrudes 9 1/2"
out of the end of the tube. (measured from the tip of the stick to the bottom of
the tube "stop/seating ring") </P>

w/non-stock filter<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Ron…..I have the stock filter set up
(which fills and stays full whether the engine is running or not, I think,
based on its inverted position)) and with 4 quarts my dip stick shows almost
full. My assumption is that when the engine stops oil sits in the filter and
doesn’t drain down to the crankcase. If I added a quart I am sure the dip
stick would show way over full. I am puzzled.

Re: [Tigers] Tiger oil capacity w/non-stock filter<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I
have a little different problem. My 260 almost fills to the “full line” on
the dipstick with a little more than 4 quarts including the filter. Can’t
figure out why it can’t take the full five quarts?
