    Dipstick marks

    Neither the Owners M anual nor the FSM mentions how much difference there is between the "min" and "max" mark/hole on the dipstick.

    Let it be known:

    The difference between the dipstick marks is 0.5Litre, being in medieval round about one pint.

    I've always assumed that the 'range' on the dip stick is usually around 1qt (~1 L). I guess its substantially smaller on the Mirage. Thanks for clarifying things Foama!

    That's good to know! Thanks for sharing!

    Since the capacity is only 3 quarts to begin with, I can understand the logic in making it be about half a quart or liter.
