Hello All
Recently did an engine oil and filter change on my 98 TD air-con hatch. The dip stick was showing mid way pre the change. When I drained the sump there did not look to be much oil in the container so I measured it and it was approximately 2 litres, I was expecting about 3.5.
This is the first time I have done an oil change on a xantia and I did it with the car pointing slightly downhill on my drive as is my habit with the bx. So I rolled the car to a level point on the drive and tried again, no additional oil was forthcoming.
I refilled with fresh oil to the full mark on the dipstick and managed to put in 2.4 litres.
As I say I think the sump holds just over 4 litres and was expecting to remove/replace at least 3.5 ?

Thanks
looked at the thread and its interesting. I used the drain plug at the front of the engine which is where the Haynes manual that I have says it is (even shows a picture). I'll have to take a look at the rear of the sump now which I suppose means dropping the under tray. I'm getting pretty urinated off now with this car as every task appears to be more complex than on my previous cit and non cit cars.
