Fresh Oils

[jonzie26]

Could someone please let me know how many litres of oil is in the gear box, and also the diff. The components are all the standard stuff that you would find in any R33.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Check the workshop manual (you'll find a pdf if you go searching). Make sure you are also using the right grade of oil. Don't use redline's "recommended" oils as gospel... people have pointed out recently that they have got a few things wrong in recent times.

I'm not advocating Redline or any other brand... I personally (in my R32 GTR) use all penrite oils and I'm very happy with them.

General rule of thumb for diffs and gearboxes is to get the car up on stands (or a hoist if you have access to one) so its level, and fill them up to the point where the oil is level with the filler (ie, it just starts to dribble out the filler).

You'll probably find the diff uses between 1.5 - 2L of oil, and the gearbox may be 3 - 3.5L, but thats just a guess based on past experiances, not specifically with an R33.

Cheers!
