Hi everyone... I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina and this is my first post here...
One month ago I've bought a Marea HLX 20v '98 secondhand which, after a few initial problems, I'm starting to love more and more...
The problem I'm having now is that I'm not sure if the dipstick fited in my car is the correct one. It's always dry, even after a complete oil and filter change when I've put 4,5 ltrs. of fresh oil according to what's written in my manual...
Can anyone indicate my how long should the correct dipstick be? Or I am simply not putting enough oil in there?
I went to various Fiat Authorized Services in my area, and no one was able to confirm if I have the correct dipstick, the only solution they offer me is to order a new one from Fiat, but I have to pay first, so by the time the new dipstick arrives if they discover that I have the correct one already fited, and that the problem with the oil is another, I would have paid for a dipstick that I will never use.
So any information you can give me, will be very useful...
Thanks in advance!, and I'll be coming back later with many, many more questions...
