Hey everyone,

I just wanted to ask how much oil in liters do you all put in your M35's. There's one serious problem that I have noticed with our cars is that the dipstick is absolutely useless. You cant really read it accurately. Initially I thought it was only my car but I've serviced a number of M35's with the same problem. Yes I shouldve measured the oil coming out but I never do.

thanks

I usually put just under 5LT's in....run the engine for a while and top it up the next day if needed. The dipstick is useless for me as well....let it settle overnight and it should give you a reading though.

I just put 5 liters in to account for the little bit that leaks out of the rocker. :D Nice and easy, the whole bottle. Usually just over the fill line once the filter is full.

Yep, +1 for 5L.

Just means you are very slightly over filling.... may account for the the amount that fills up in the dipstick once you turn the engine over.

The dipstick is very readable if you check it first thing in the morning before starting the car.... as Craig said.

I am not sure how much my Subaru Outback takes but who gives a shit as it is not a VQ25DET.

Really!!!

In our old R31 we use about 8.2lts....with the enlarged and baffled sump + the 2 large oil coolers it needs it. Oh and my wifes U13 Bluebird use's about 4.3lts......Dad's Touareg uses about 6.5lts....and. mums prelude....welll thats a tricky one because it's auto and I think from memory the motor bleeds into the GB......My sister has a WRX and they use about 4lts.......brother in law has a falcon....think they are about 5.5lts.

Oh thats right we were talking about an M35's.....or was I missing something! Did I read the title right?

Amount Of Engine Oil You Guys Put In Your M35

Or did I just confuse anyone that wants to find out how much oil an M35 uses by posting up a whole heap of spam that has no relation to a VQ25DET!!! :(

In saying that lets go back to the M35 answers!

Yep, +1 for 5L.

P.S. Sorry in advance if I have offended anyone....thats not what I was trying to do!

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
