junkie 0 Posted October 14, 2007 Im going to change the oil in a moment on my G60 Just need to check how much oil it needs to fill her back her up as i do not have a full 5L, i assume 3.75L will be sufficient? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 14, 2007 3.5L without oil filter change or 4L with new oil filter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted October 14, 2007 I should be ok then, im doing the oil filter as well so i will be just a little short then but within the min and max? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 14, 2007 Im not sure what the difference is between the min and max marks. But I think you should be within the marks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted October 14, 2007 Cheers then mate, so long as im within in happy, im sure roughly a litre takes you from the min to max Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah i think it is a litre difference. You'll only be putting 0.25 of a litre LESS in, so you should be nicely just below the mark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkie 0 Posted October 14, 2007 That was when i filled it after the change and after driving it im not sure if it will be lower slightly due to the external oil cooler taking some up will have to check before next use. So confident i was of the knowledge of some people i just poured the full 3.75L straight in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 14, 2007 :lol: it would have been fine. You can always top it up, better too low and put more in then too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted October 14, 2007 Thinking about it actually the oil cooler has a thermostat which would have been closed as the engine was stone cold so in theory the oil will have remained in the cooler if there was any in the 1st place, so all should be good still, still going to check though :lol: paranoia setting in all for the sake of 0.25L of oil :lol: :lol: :lol: Lets just say i wont be over filling it again :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
