Re: Dipstick level
Daniel, BEAUTIFUL Roadster I love it! Welcome and you will find a lot of good advice here.
I put back in 4 and a half quarts after I drain the old oil as the old timers told me years ago that half a quart stays in the dipper pan, they told me to put in 5 quarts if you had taken that tray out and needed to refill to proper levels. 5 quarts will show a bit above the 'F' mark. Usually a Model A will leak out a bit of excess oil until it finds it's 'sweet spot'. That was always my experience.
Have fun touring in Bavaria with your Roadster! That is some of the most beautiful country in the world. I love going there when I am in Germany. I have family in the Rhineland-Palatinate area and Bavaria is just a short 'hop' to the east. They told me the Zweibrucken region at one point was part of Bavaria.
Take care!
Jeff
