Oil level DM2

[bassplayer]

The high and low marks on my dipstick are quite a long way apart. Out of curiosity how far up do you fill your DM2? I usually fill it up about 80% up to the high mark (after letting the oil circulate around the engine and filter) but was wondering if it's wiser to go right up to the high mark.

I have just bought and fitted the oil filter adapter that takes the spin on oil filter, I filled up with morris golden film sae 30. probably my imagination but it sounded better than ever. I always keep mine topped up to the full mark on the dip stick.

Any info/source for the oil filter adapter referred to?

You can get the adapter from Russell Newbery, tel 01327700023 or 07812039110 it comes with a 1/8" threaded hole in the top to take a pressure gauge but they will blank this off for you if required, they also supply the screw on filter, its not cheap at £67.50 but its a lot less messy at oil change times. Also it comes with all nuts bolts and gaskets for fitting.
