The Oil Level Gauge, commonly called a Dipstick, differs between early and late A12 engines.

Contents

[edit]

Overview

Short: ~9-1/16 inches from tip to bottom of rubber
Long: ~14-3/4 inches from tip to bottom of rubber
24892.jpgAlbum 24892

If you rotate the A12 dipstick 180 degrees and put it back in, it hits the crank. Makes a crazy slapping, tapping, whacking noise.

Early type goes directly into block (1970-1973) so uses a short stick
H10 version is used by front-distributor A12 engine
24894.jpgAlbum 24894 17032.jpgAlbum 17032

Late type goes into a tube which is inserted into block (late 1973-up)
H50/H72/H95-type gauge is also used by B210 and B310 A12/A14/A15/A12A engines
7779.jpgAlbum 7779 18741.jpgAlbum 18741 1765.jpgAlbum 1765 2404.jpgAlbum 2404

Dipstick only goes in one way. Position it in so that the flat of the stick is parallel with the block so that it slides into the tube bend.
[edit]

Oil Capacity 

with oil filter change 3.2 Litres (2-7/8 qt)
w/o oil filter change 2.7 Litres (2-3/8 qt)

The exact amount depends on which oil filter you use. Filters range from more than 1 litre to less than 1/2 litre.

When changing oil and filter, add 3 liters, then check the dipstick to see how much more is needed. From the L line to the H line is 1 liter.

Using the early right-side oil pan gasket on the late A-engine will result in the dipstick being wiped clean on removal, this will then make it appear as though the engine is low on oil.

Oil Level

Oil should be between H and L marks.

24893.jpgAlbum 24893

Marks are the same for early (H10) vs late (H50) gauges, even though the overal gauge length differs. That's because they use the same oil pan! The oil level from the bottom of the pan is what is important.

[edit]

Tube Removal

Use vice-grips and tap it up and out while twisting back and forth. Put a bolt in the end before gripping it to prevent tube collapse.
