That's it. If your oil container is higher than the space you have, just drive over two 4' pieces of 2x6 (buy an 8' piece at Home Depot or Lowe's and get it cut in half) and any container would fit. If you put an extra liter, do that procedure twice (after turning engine on) and level would be perfect. And do a search so you understand how the sensor works, and how to take consistent readings. Good luck.
