Quick question on the amount of engine oil. I know the book says 750 mil but some people have told me as I'm running an Imola 750 is too much and I should only put in 500 mil. I'm doing an oil change before Newark after running in my kit. What are people's thoughts on this. I want to get it right. Cheers peeps.

Half a litre should be more than enough when you leave the engine 'wet', i.e. just drain and refill.

my take is similar - the norm is to put it on level ground and fill until it comes out of the higher level plug - as you wont be able to drain all the old oil about 0.5 litres will do it but a dry engine will take the 0.7
