Fill up 3 and a half run engine briefly so oil circulates leave for a while check dipstick and top up accordingly too much oil puts pressure on seals etc but slow and steady and you'll be fine!

Thanks mate ;-)

Normally 3.7l but I usually wait for 15-20 min. with opened oil tank (car is tilted a bit by the jacks) so 4l can be filled to normal level.

I used to do that as I'm a trained mechanic anyway but as I'm only going to own the car until around next August as I'm moving away and doubt I'll be able to keep a car so to prove I've looked after her going to get the stamps plus being 20 they think I rag the balls of my car and use cheap parts which is certainly not the case
