2.0 pinto with modded sump ...(no just cut and shortened)
but not your usual sump it has a extra piece welded on the side i assume for extra capacity SO
how much oil? I dont know where this sump came from.. The haynes says 6.5 pints it that too much for a little sump....just dont want to over fill or under fill
how much oil?

Hi

When i had my sump modded I was told to fill it to the same MAX mark on the dipstick as before

Hi
On my RH I have a shortened sump but no side box. Filled up to max on dipstick, topped up after start-up (once filter had filled up) and total used was just under 3.5 litres. So it appears that the side box doesn't add much.
