[InTrenches]

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?

[InTrenches]

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

[Chillin]

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:

[RainWarriorDregs]

ah fair call, proceed.

[InTrenches]

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?

[Evan G]

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!

[Trev]

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.

[Evan G]

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.
