alright guys I thought it was time I change my oil in my pair of ford 180hp mermaids as it was done before I got the boat and I have done about 250 hours ,all the time I have had the boat I have always kept the levels topped up ,I rang mermaids and lancing marine to double check how much oil I need to do the job and they both said 13.6 liters well I got a lot more out of the engines one was about 20 liters and the other was about 18 liters but the dipsticks were both on full before I started and now I put the correct amount of oil in the engines one dipstick ricks half way between full and empty and the other only goes about 5 mm up the dipstick .now do I cut down the dipstick tube down so they read right or put more oil in .
