Recently bought a 306 and when I checked the oil it was looking a little low. I've poured about two gallons into it now and still isn't filling up. How much do these usually take?

Are you checking the dipstick? And putting oil in the right place?

Be surprised at how often this really happens, had one come in earlier this week - we pulled 14 litres out... Apparently he just kept filling until he could see it had oil in it - looking through the filler cap, that is. Rofl

Must mean litres.

2 gallons is 9 litres... It'd be coming out of the filler cap with that much lol.
