Title: Oil Decal location
Post by: Jonny B on February 19, 2008, 19:51:56

I finally found the small oil decal, this is one that shows a profile of the engine from the front, and has the "Min" "Max" lines on it, white background, with the engine outline in black. Now the question as to where the heck does it go. I think I have seen applied to the inside of the trunk lid, which is not all that logical to me, but that is what I recall.
Yes/no/where? Also was this across the model years?

Yes, in the middle of the trunk lid just above the "X" support member.  Yes across.
