Well I took a guess. My guess was the modified dip stick was to show proper oil level in modified oil pan.

Another MB person said that marks B and D on the dip stick were stock. I assumed that with the bigger pan being deeper than stock then the markings the PO put on the stick (C and E) were to be the new markings for this pan. C =full and D =Qt. low

To accomplish that it took 8 quarts w/out the oil cooler.

I cant afford Syn right now so I used Lucas oil at 20% and regular heavy duty diesel rated oil. Besides in a month or so Ill be draining it alll again to put in a new oil cooler.
