Right THIS is all you need to know...

From the Escort Cosworth Owners Handbook....

Check the engine oil level each ime you refuel. After switching off the enginewait for a few minutes to allow the oil to flow back to the sump..... Blah Blah...The oil level is correct if the film on the dipstick is between the two markings... blah blah.....The quantity of oil represented by the space between MIN and MAX markings is approx 0.5 to 1.0 litre

The end
