How Many Litres Of Oil Do I Need?

[SS8_Gohan]

as per title, looking for the amount of oil i need for:

- ENGINE

- GEARBOX

- DIFF

R34 GT-T, manual. 1998.

just need to know so i order the right amount!

[SS8_Gohan]

ok, couldn't find anything really R34 specific, so just went with manual R33's or Rb25's..

- ENGINE: about 4.5 litres (just buy a 5L)

- GEARBOX: about 4 litres (prob use 3.something L)

- DIFF: about 2 litres (again, prob use about 1.something L)

does that sound about right to the mechanics/DIY oil changers out there?

cheers,

Yep, sounds about right for all of them.

When I changed the gearbox I thought I was going to run out and be stuck with no car but it filled up with a tiny amount to spare from a 4L bottle.

Used about or a bit over 5 ltr to do diff and gearbox last week. Motor is nearly spot on 5ltr. I put the whole lot in and it sits a tiny bit over full. 98 gtt manual

i've been reading a few things saying be VERY careful about over-filling... not sure by how much, but apparently it's something to be very wary of...

It's a manual, i have also heard auto's take more oil. I think this is just a general car thing to, manual less oil needed than auto, in general...

So are you saying that you used 5 litres of the same oil to do both diff and gearbox? not 5 litres per area?

Because i'm going to order 4 litres of the gearbox, and 2 for the diff

yeah 6 ltrs should be enough to do both. Yeah dont over fill your engine oil Just fill the gbox and diff untill they just start to overflow
