Anyone know much oil I need to remove to get my dipstick reading from the notch to the correct max level. Obviously the car has been serviced by a noob and I don't want to have to replace the turbo..

wont be the 1st time av seen so called "top notch" Co's rip people off Shocked Shocked

av been breaking cars for a long time now and the classic rip offs are fuel pumps and engine internal parts Shocked Shocked

a wont name these Co's ...

you are probably best off giving ur car a oil change Wink
