As title states, I'm going to be filling up my rb20 manual box from the selector hole as I can't remove the filler hole on the side of the box as I only got a 17MM spanner which only works with the open end side. I don't have any 4 sided socket that fits over that bolt.

I'm using a BFH with the spanner aswell.. Won't budge.. I have a breaker bar I can use but I don't have any socket that fits over the bolt..

Anyone know how much oil I should put in ? I can't take the filler plug off so I might aswell just drain it and measure how much im putting in from the top.

cheers

Use vice grips or something to get that off.

I replaced that one with the same type of plug as the drain, so I can crack it with a 1/2" drive ratchet.

What I do is take the filler off, fill from the shifter until oil is JUST starting to overflow out of the filler, then chuck the filler plug back on.

From memory it's about 2.2 litres.

Where did you buy the same type plug from ?? I want to replace both the plugs on them as they are chewed from the previous owner!

      I'm aware that you can sink endless amounts of money into an engine. I don't want that kind of engie though. My power goal is 500, maybe 600hp at the max. I can get by with the nearly stock engine that I have now for that purpose and if it does need a rebuild at some point I would choose longer lasting components instead of the most ridiculously hp-rated ones. And do all the essentials of course.

      I remember a Wheels mag article from, I dunno when....late 80s, early 90s, or something, about a BMW engine which was claimed to be able to produce cleaner tailpipe emissions than the air it was typically breathing in on Autobahns, city streets, etc etc, in a lot of the really filthy (at the time) Euro and US cities.. All courtesy of the engine management and the plentitude of cats they had on it, of course. Classic marketing spin, naturally, because you sure as shit can't breathe what's coming out the back. But whatever.
