  Hello and good day to all
  
  I have the Laidong 3 cyl. engine on my 254.
  
  Is there anything special I need to know about oil change?
  
  Can I just drain and refill and start using?
  
  Or do I need to wait a few hours after refill?
  
  I’m not sure where I got this idea from.
  
  Thanks for your time

  Actually I don't think I have the correct engine oil capacity listed
  
  in my manual. Manual says 3.5 Litres.
  
  I have that in so far but nothing shows on dipstick.
  
  Does anyone know where to find engine oil capacity for this engine.
  
  I believe it is 3 cylinder Lai Dong KM385?

  I'm not sure either. Drain, fill and go!

  Thanks Tinbender
  
  Ended up somewhere between 4 and 5 quarts
  
  before it showed on the stick.
  
  Will check it again tomorrow.

  I do not know if your engine has the same to me oddity .I can not get a good dipstick reading on a cold engine, if I just pull out the dipstick on a first pulling out.It will barely read on the stick.When I push it back in and read it the second time it reads where it should be. But I would go with the dipstick not what is in the book for sure.
