Liberty Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I usually just measure how much comes out and check the level's okay after replacing.unless yours loses oil I would think that'll do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger C Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I've now filled it to the max as measured on the dash, started it up and then shut down, I'll wait 30 mins and refill to the max mark again. Rog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I’d put 7 in and then check as you won’t get all the old oil out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog. Not sure why you need to have it at max? It's not a target 😜One or two bars below ? less likely to be over filled.. imho.Not saying I've not done the same in the past though.

Codfanglers Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Better to fill to around 3/4 in my opinion and check the level stone cold at home in a regular parking space.. The sensor reads slightly differently depending on the incline the car is sat at, so full in one position can easily be over-full in another. The oil level in my 2.7 hasn't dropped between oil changes so I tend not to check it very often these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, Ive left it overnight in my 'very level' garage, I'll just see where its at and if its above half I'll just leave it and use that as my reference.

sa utah Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Just done mine. Put 7.5L in. Ran it for a few mins then left over night. next morning slowly topped of to the max line. Which is not the TOP line. It’s the next one down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
