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!

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
