Would some one who has a 2.2DTi please do me a favour. Would they measure how long the dipstick is for me please? This sounds a daft request, but when i do an oil change (which will be soon) i always put in the required amount according to the hand book, but it's always way too far up the dip stick. The only conclusion i can think is that i may have the wrong dip stick :-/ The over all length is fine. Thank you
I know there's no there's no oil left in the engine as i leave to drain for ages, i've also measured what's come out so if your thinking there's some left in

Daft question but do you also change the oil filter?  and start the motor after you put oil in and then check it. (told you it was a daft question)

Yup, change the filter & it's checked over a period of days after
