Urgant Question. R34 Gtt Rb25det Changing Oil?

[skylinessuck]

hi, just got my new car........How much oil goes in when you fully drain it and new filter.......getting shoulder surgery tomo so i need to service it tonight but i don't have any books that specify how much oil to use

cheers fella's

(i did a quick search but came up with nothing and i;m running out fo time!!!)

[JGTC]

generally 5L is the rule of thumb, they actually take between 4.7-4.8L but use the full 5L to allow for any seepage upon running the new oil in

[Jezza-gtR]

Just put in 4L, start the car, switch it off and keep topping it up until its at full. 5L is far too much.

[skylinessuck]

champions, you've got me out of a real jam.......... thanks heaps

Fill til it comes out the filler plug...that's what it's there for. For obvious reasons you won't be able to put any more in!!!

[Sloupos]

90% sure its 4.3... all depends on how much u drain, put 4 in.

Run in.. recheck/ add, gl with the surgery.

where is the filler plug? never heard of that...but anyway i thought it was 4.8l and 5l is good to put....could it be diff for rb26 or its the same for rb25 too...

[blah_blah]

I usually put in 4.2-4.3L of oil at each change

Might be different on GTRs but it's usually on the side of the gearbox, not far from the slave cylinder.

I can get 4.8 - 4.9 L perfectly in the middle of the dipstick if I jack up the back/passenger side of the car and drain out everything, I dont think 5L is way out there.

never knew that...ill check of that now in the weekend...would it be in other cars too? like commodores?

[Stagea_Neo]

i've always found in the stag s2 rb25neo turbo, it fills my draining tray including the filter to about 4.9 - 5l right on the line.

(depending how much spills in the process on the front diff)

and my dipstick is always bang on the H mark.

now you've just reminded me i've gotta do a change this weekend.

I always filled 5L too...never hade any issues...when Jezza-gtR said 5L is too much i started to get worried..lol...thanks for confirmation...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

the sump takes 4.5 litres

but for a track day it is advisable to overfill by 500ml - 1lt to help prevent oil starvation

i usually just throw in 5lt

[UNR33L]

i think i chucked 4.8 ish in when i did mine (rb26)

go 100% synthetic
