Cleared a space, finally..
Also, dropped oil and strained it through paper gauze to check for debris - none found thankfully. Fitted magnetic sump bolt and re-filled with fresh (9L !!) Mobil 3000.. Was going to go the Millers route but call me superstitious I don't want to change oil types in mine. (Here we go)!
I was surprised at the amount needed but after 8.25 and leaving some time to settle, dipstick/dash gauge both on minimum. No smoke start-up seems A-OK.
I will change oil again in the summer and check/replace every 6 months for good measure I think
