Can someone please tell me how many litres of oil a 5k takes? i need the answer asap.

 

thanks in advance, Isaac.

until the level on the dipstick is in its appropriate level?

 

or did i miss something?

no i needed the ammount because i was using an additive, and it was relevant to the litres of oil.

it's close to 4L isn't it? are you dropping the old oil before you add the additive? for $30 od bucks it's not going to break the bank, and your engine will appreciate you :blinks:

ah fair call, proceed.

no i didnt drop the old oil, its only been replaced recently. i was only adding 200ml, and i guessed 4L so i was right haha :blinks:

I am guessing stop smoke?

 

If so what brand & weight is the oil you are running?

if shes a heavy breather or smoker

 

use "Tection DD Monograde 40" this shit will control burning oil (its sooo f@$king thick!, thicker than ep80w gearbox oil LOL)

So you are saying that a 40 weight is thicker then a 80-90?

 

If it is using oil then try Penrite HPR50.

its just the name, its thicker than gearbox oil!

No, Tection DD is an SAE40 oil.

 

I would hate to see an oil thicker then gearbox oil used in an engine especially a diesel.

thats what we couldnt work out, ep80w was thinner than tection monograde? it was a fresh drum aswell.

 

tection was like honey lmao

Castrol Tection DD Monograde

Protection for 2-stroke Diesel Engines

Castrol Tection DD Monograde is a high performance diesel engine oil, specially formulated for use in Detroit Diesel 2-Stroke engines, operating with diesel fuels up to 0.5% maximum sulphur.

 

Benefits

 

* Protection against deposit formation. 2-stroke engines are very sensitive to deposits which can form on the exhaust valves, leading to burnt valves, a loss in engine power and if unchecked, to complete engine failure. Castrol Tection DD Monograde has a special low ash-forming formulation to minimise deposit build-up, this ensures efficient engine operation and longer engine life.

 

* Protection against wear. Castrol Tection DD Monograde contains advanced anti-wear additives to protect against premature engine failure from wear, therefore reducing maintenance costs.

 

Specifications / Performance

 

* SAE 40

 

* API CF/CF-2

 

* Sulphated ash 0.8% weight maximum

 

* Suitable for use in DD Series 149 engines

 

Grade Code 2229

I would personally be using RX super over Tection DD as rx does not have as many detergents, I used to run RX in my car every now and then to keep it a bit more cleaner.

ummmmmm...... gear oil weights are different to engine oil weights and it is possible for a higher number in gear oil to be thinner than a lower number in engine oil....

 

and a 40w monograde is going to be much thicker at a cold temperature than a multigrade such as a 20w50 - it will be thinner than a 20w50 at higher temperatures though.

 

If you need to know how much, try googling it, or searching a major oil manufacturer's website - they normally give you a reccommendation and a capacity.

True but I still say that 80-90 is thicker then 40.

 

Thanks for the teaching, I have no idea about oil.
