....to put in a TT from dry?

 

Going to do an oil change next week. 10w 40's the stuff yeah?

3.5 Lts

that's what the manual says, but mine happily took 4 litres, i know the dipstick isn't great, but even after running then settling, it was only at the very tip, it just doesn't seem much at all 3.5 litres? the toy town 1.2 litre engine in my punto takes a gallon... it was completely drained, should be ok tho?

Does that 3.5 litres account for filling the oil filter ?

 

or does that explain the half litre ?

 

I remember Jamie at Zedworld filling the oil filter prior to refilling one oil change....

Yes thats including oil filter.

Yeah, I watched Jeff do that with mine too.

 

3.5 litres doesn't sound like much at all. But if that's the general concensus form you guys, that'll do for me!! :thumbup1:

yeh did my oil change the other day, used about 3.1/4 litres as i ran some oil through first to flush it out i recon there was alittle left in there. seems crazy that a 3 litre v6 with oil coolers and turbo lines etc uses so little my capri used to used like twic ethe amount

Mine has taken 4 and half today :lol::lol:

It's definitely around 3.5litres, which is very strange for such a large engine but true.

 

My 2.8l Merc engine takes 9 litres, and 1.0l Micra takes 3 litres!

 

Great design, but probably fatal when the oil level is low.

9 Lts... that is a lot

9 Lts... that is a lot

 

Thats why the engines will do half a million miles if serviced properly! :lol:

Does anyone else find the dipstick virtually unreadable? Mine is so bad (overfilled one side, then low another. Stick it in again and it get a different reading etc.!) that I'm actually going to change the oil and fill with exactly 3 litres (the filter was changed just over 200miles ago) just so I can get a definitive answer on where the level should be reading when it's got a healthy amount of oil in! I'm sure I had no problems at all with the dipstick on my old engine!

Fresh oil is a nightmare to see on these dipsticks

Thats why the engines will do half a million miles if serviced properly! :lol:

 

Pity the bodies can't keep up any longer...all models build between 99 and 2001 are worse than Fiats of the 70s!
