<DIV><STRONG>Very good point, but my suspicion is that originally when 5 qts.
were put in along with a new filter that the dipstick probably read full.
But then again, this might have been true for a Ford engine in a Ford car.
But in a Tiger??? If the dip stick was originally way off, what did a
dealer tell a customer when the discrepancy came up?</STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>That raises the question what can cause the engine
to tilt very far from stock.....missing the thick washers on the motor
mounts, worn motor mounts, incorrect (inferior) motor mounts, using a
non standard or worn or broken tranny mount, ? Anything else? Or a non
stock oil pan?</STRONG></DIV>

angle situation you better start think about an oil change if the
dipstick oil level read between the ADD line and the Mid line. You
are at the 2 to 3 Qts oil in the sump. You definitely need an oil
add or change if the oil level reading is near the ADD line
meaning about 2 Qts oil in the sump.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
