Engine oil filling

[Powersalt]

I just wonder if anyone has found a solution for toping up the engine oil when there is only about 100mm ( 4 inches) between the filler acess and the cabin floorboards. I just cant believe you have to take the carpet and floorboards up each time to top up engine oil??

Any ideas -please? thanks

Ours have a 1 1/2" filler cap directly into the sump...

It's very rare I put oil in from one service to another, no matter how many miles.

Still good to have a look round down there every now and again or even on a daily basis.

It's handy to know if your sinking or not.

I simply have a little pump action oil can with a flexible spout. I check levels every day and a couple of squirts a day into the port engines dipstick hole keep my port engine happy. My starboard engine does not seem to need any between changes.

I plumbed a reverso pump into the sump plug hole so that oil changing and topping up is simply a matter of putting a tube into a can and switching the pump on.
