Re: Oil capacity

I guess this is of little help, but i reckoned on 5 litres not being enough, and 10 litres being enough for the initial fill, and having some left for top ups, so i bought 2 gallons of 20w50

I managed to get about 7 litres in before the level got to the top of the dipstick mark, but this included filling the remote Mocal oil cooler, thermostat and related pipework.

I'm guessing it may need a dash more once its been run, as some of the oil will 'hang up' in the heads, cams etc. (Its already been run in the US, but i dont know how much trouble they went to to drain the oil)
