Rubber O-ring replaced in side oil drain bolt Al crush washer for both drain bolts replaced. .....next day started up for 5min...heard some tapping. added 9th (2/3 full actually). Still no dipstick reading. Added 10th - still no reading Added 11th - still no reading. Said f it and started up and let idle for 15min Eventually tapping gone. Dipstick read 50% Total oil added probably 10.5L bec each bottle that I refilled was not a full litre Will check again after a longer warmup. Update.
