AGG 8v
« on: 22 February 2008, 12:12 »
I know its been asked before but i have used the search function and cant find what im looking for.

Just want to know the capacity of my engine for oil.

So when i drain it, how much oil it wil take to fill it to how it should be.

And also, the age old question, which oil.  :laugh:

My cars been serviced but an old lad down the road and hes doing an mot check, but i need to supply the bits n bobs. Got it all except the oil  :wink:

Cheers

Engine Oil Capacity will be quoted in your Haynes Book.

I have a 16v ABF engine.  Think my capacity is about 4.5 litres-5.0.

Last time I changed my oil, I just presumed it would be less than 4 l.  Bought a 4l tub, and had to get a mate to drive be the 20 odd miles to the Halfords again!

I've asked about oils yesterday.  Im never sure.  You never seem to get a decent response.

I bought 5litres of Mobil 10/40 semi syth For very high performance engines. Will this be enough?

Also got the halfords oil filter, was a champion one, but couldnt see the justification of the few pounds extra.....

agreed?

nothing wrong with champion (exept they make citroens o.e filters!!)... i allways use aftermarket filters and have never had problems.. and the mobil should be good oil (do you fancy changing mine while your at it??)
