I'm not sure.  The mechanical guri on the list say to maintain
between the low mark and halfway on the stick.  Halfway's either a
pint less or half a pint -- Bentley alleges that on the 2.1l dipstick
there's only a half-liter (half-quart?) between the two marks.  Until
recently I didn't care, and now that I do I haven't measured mine yet.
