Ok
Ok so the total capacity is 4.5 litres but it won’t be totally empty so you need to add some and check but it will want at least one litre most likely 2

jf I’ve been filling it up with just a little bit at a time
Customer: replied 7 days ago.
Is it likely that it’s emptying really quickly
Customer: replied 7 days ago.
If I can fill it with 4.5 litres then should I?
Are your checking the dipstick? Don’t put 4.5 litres in as it will have too much if it’s not empty

Yeah it’s right at the bottom of the dipstick
Customer: replied 7 days ago.
Nearly dry
Go 1 litre at a time and keep checking on dipstick
