How Much Oil To Put Into R34 Gtr?

[Phatboy]

Hi, tried a few searches but nothing came up. Using 300V chrono in the R34 GTR at moment (-5s.. approx 320rwkw atm). Used for street driving.

Do people put in the 5L that I think is recommended by the manual or do they overfill to around 6L? I heard that overfilling it prevents poor pick-up when under hard cornering, etc. I don't have a custom sump/baffle so should I overfill it to over the line then? Or is this only for trackdays?

Thanks.

The R34 GT-R, according to the Manual uses 5l if you're not changing the oil filter - and 5.3l if you are changing the filter.

Of course enthusiasts will change a filter each time the oil is changed, and...

When you do fill up with new oil, one normally fills up until the level is at the top of the 'meshed' area > go for a little run > add the extra, to cater for the filter volume.

It's not advisable to overfill.

agreed. NEVER overfill it. just keep checking the dipstick and topping it up to the full point.

Yep!!!

Overfilling > extra pressure on gaskets & seals

Why? 'Cause gasses COMPRESS more easily than liquids!!!!!!!!!!!!!
