        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?

              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.
