I searched but couldn't find the info I was looking for. I thought there was a thread on oil level. Anyone have an issue with running 4 quart over 3.7? Wasn't there a thread discussion on running the engine slightly over full? I thought it was better to do that or was it for AX only?

4 works for me, never measured, just our in four.
Drive it like you stole it, it will burn off soon enough. |

If you have leaky tubes it will leak more. I've never ran over the line but I do keep'em topped up all the time.
BTW checking the T4 oil level is very sensitive to the car being level itself. That goes for all t4 engined cars/bus. |

No issues at all; in fact going up to a half-quart over is recommended for autoX cars. It helps keeps the oil pickup submerged just a tiny bit longer.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Good question. I fill to the dip stick line as I have a Tuna Can. Also, the size of the Oil Filter you use might need to be factored in, as well as a remote Oil Cooler if you have one, wouldn't it?. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
