1982 430 WR reading crank case oil level

I know from a specs chart that the crankcase is to hold 1.4L of 20W Motor Oil, but short of measuring the volume before adding it, is there a visual inspection level? When I open the oil cap, is it supposed to be, say, 2 inches from the top, or something? Filled right to the top?
Thanks,
C.

I always, well the old man who has owned his 82 WR 430 since new has filled it to the bottom of the crank shaft gear nut.
No idea how much oil that is but? Sorry I can't help any more. Probably take more notice next time you put a freash lot of oil in it. And next time i do ours i will put 1.4L in it and see were it comes up to. Thanks Dewy.

I dont measure, I just "eyeball" 1.5 bottles. Half a bottle by eye is close enough.

in the fill hole fill it to the bend in the case
fill it correctly and you will see this
it was in my owners manual

Check out my rebuild thread, some nice punter slipped in the official "how to measure the oil level" page from a manual.

something like this one

a picture is worth a thousand words
well in this case maybe 50 -60

That be it, who would have thoughts the Swedes would be all technical about something like this

don't forget they have VEEEERRRyyy long nights in the winter to sit down and design
yhey are great machinists too

if they are great machinists?? why didnt they put in a simple oil level bolt like everyone else? That way you can use the foot test for oil level. when it runs onto your thongs, you know it full!

Because they don't need an oil level bolt. They gave us a huge filler hole we can look right down into and see the oil, and they gave us a liter and a half oil volume. THAT's the swedish way.

too true
