anyone know what the oil pressure guage should read on tickover when warm? and when just normal driving say on the motorway at 60-70?

were are the oil coolers? are they mounted to the box or at the front somewere?

At the front, in front of everything else basically. In the middle, under the number plate. The gearbox oil cooler on the other hand, on an auto is in the radiator, on a UK manual it's behind the box somewhere under the chassis, not sure if that's the same for a JDM manual or not?

Well you learn something new every day! I also didn't even know there was a gearbox cooler for the manual either. It's driving me mad not being with my car and being able to pop out and have a look at things when I see them mentioned on here :headvswal

I know that feeling bud :D

So how many litres of oil does my TT hold?

With an aftermarket cooler? Not sure. I know mine usually takes 4 - 4.5 depending on how well I've drained it, so assuming yours is currently bone dry, including nothing in the cooler etc. 4.5 - 5 litres probably?

i always check the dipstick by

1. letting the engine cool down for several hours

2. take dipstick out and wipe it

3. place dipstick back in making sure not to twist it about

4. remove dip and check oil level, all the way round the dip. the lowest mark should be taken as the proper level.

 

hope this makes sense

Thanks mate, just wanted to get a rough idea when I have to do it.

not all manuals have a oil cooler for the gearbox.

EDIT: DOH, just read what you quoted, damnit, fingers are freezing, it's dark, I'm all alone just me, the dog and Capital FM and I'm getting hungry :( Rose being on contract isn't all good lol.

ok did an oil flush and took a pic of the oil pressure on tickover and fully warmed up look ok to you guys?

stupid pic wont load up its between the 0 and first white line almost exactly between the 2

Sounds about right,

mind you,

it does depend the grade of oil you are running.
