It never went below one quart low but would never stay at the full mark. I suspected an incorrect dipstick but I swapped with my other 57 and the same result occurred. Strangely enough, my other 57 did not exhibit this one-quart-low trait. These cars have such personalities! Ken Miller 61 and 67 Converts
