Hi Gang, I just changed my oil again (RB26DETT) and it only took 3 litres- I had said earlier in this post it took 4L because I'd poured all the bottle in but 1L, but I just realiseed it was a 4L bottle (Royal Purple); Anyway, it seems like a very small amount but looks fine on the dip stick, and did previously. Question is, can this be possible, is there a sump kit the previous owner may had installed with a smaller capacity- anyone else take the same amount? I just drove to work 35km, oil pressure was at 2 (stock guage) at idle and got a little over 6 on boost; let the car sit for 20mins, and oil level was still well over the cross hatching on the dip stick- reaches the H - so should I leave it or put more in as some have suggested in this thread? I know the specs say 4.5L oil pan and .4L for filter, but the car is quite modified and has an oil filter relocation kit.

4.7

Just checked it again 3 times! still on High H -surely someone has had a similar experience; is it something to do with the relocation kit?

[scotty nm35]

Is it the wrong dip stick? Perhaps an RB30 one?

[scotty nm35]

TP FFS.

I would fill it using the above info, put 4.7L or 5L in after draining.

Just took it for a spin and oil pressure was still 2kg/cm3 at idle, but only got as high as 4kg/cm3 on boost- is this a normal range; oil temp was over 70

Lol Why is everyone telling everyone how much oil to use is it really that hard??? Oil flush, drain it out, when it's hot and letting it drain for a few hours is prefable, then change filter and fill up. Use the minimum you think and keep checking every few mins topping as required.

Go for a drive if you want and when hot check again and top up if necessary.

Really??

These oil topics are all the same

Buy a 5l, put 5l in. why leave 100 to 200ml in the bottle?

[Moodles2]

3L haha and you went ahead and boosted it? It wouldn't have lasted long on the track. Remember to clean the dipstick, put it back in, then take it out again and read it.
