G200 has an interference engine.
I own 2 Daihatsu Charades & DIY most mechanical and electrical maintenance.
1990 G102 with (HC-E) and 1995 G203 with HD-E 1589 cc transplanted from Applause. Engines are very similar.

Why not admit defeat and scrap her then?

ask the car dealer. I think any car service dealer can tell you which oil to use. They usually have a book with most cars and trucks listed (Autozone) and which type of oil you use depends on your type of driving and where you live. Such as mostly cold, hot, dusty etc.

The engine oil capacity of a Daihatsu Sirion, 1000 cc Auto, 1999 is roughly 2.5L assuming the sump was drained and new oil filter installed.
This amount will bring the oil level on the dipstick to the upper line.
As a caution, put in 2L initially, then run the engine for a few moments then switch off. After a few minutes recheck cleaned dipstick level and top up as necessary.

hey mate i have the same problem with my applause if u have found a reason for it i would love to hear it thx

check your brake fluid level i had same problem on a different car with handbrake light staying on and when i checked brake fluid it was on minimum light went back to normal after topping up fluid in the reservoir check the fluid "DOT" rating before buying this should be on the cap (ie DOT 4 fluid only)
