Post by: Markweir12 on November 04, 2014, 10:49:06 am

How much oil does the engine need?

Gonna do a service on weekend and need to get some millers ordered.

Thanks

A full drain (sump off) I used about 5.4L, 5L could be enough but I would buy a 5L and a 1L to be sure and as a top up  :happy2:

If you're just changing the oil and filter, have 5+1 litre as at first you won't use it all but as the oil gets soaked into the new filter and burnt a bit in the engine you'll soon need the extra 1 litre to top up over the next few weeks.

Then a little to top up next day when I checked it.
