Ducato Series 8 Oil Level ( difficulties and nightmares )

[jerryz]

I changed oil in my Ducato last week manual says 6L , I drained it out nice and warm,, put the waste oil in my container only 5L ??? refilled with new filter and fresh oil and it needed 6L to reach same level as before ,,, ????????

I think the engine management ECU has a random number generator at its heart. My adblue warning come on when I still have more than half in the tank. So it’s not just oil it can’t measure.

Just for info my series 8 is in to Adam morley Portsmouth next Wednesday for the exact same thing. Already had oil filter, sensor and oil change.

I ll update this thread and mine and I ll try to hit a pothole on the way down !

Maybe 300cc and a little in the oil catch tray
