Hey Fellas , so I’m getting close to starting my 2.4L. I’ve read that the original 6 takes 9 quarts. Mine is slightly larger as stated. I want to start adding oil to the system. Not only to look for leaks but want to get some in the block so I can rotate her without fear of
scuffing up metal that shouldn’t. I know your supposed to check when hot and running. How much would you add at first. Any starting procedure tips. It is carbed and does NOT have a front cooler. Appreciate any insight and experience. Cheers, Dion Engine porn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I fill the tank till I can see oil on the dipstick, then it's safe to start. I don't go by the amount it's suppose to take, as you could overfill the tank.
I always run my tank in the lower half of the dipstick marks, never at the full line. I find I have the lowest oil consumption at this mark, less than a liter (quart) per oil change. |

That is good advice as well. On oil changes I also measure the total amount drained to ensure no over filling. |
