5ME Oil Change - 3L ?
|
Fri, 09 January 2004 07:42
|

Just changed the oil on the 5me, no new filter
Only 3L has drained out,
got impatient, and chucked a fresh 5L in.
now i have to drain some of it dammit.
manual and websites state capacity as 5.1L with filter
no obviously the filter wont hold 2.1L
where is the other oil.
it wasn't running dry at all either?
i let it drain till it almost stopped dripping...

The other oil has burnt, or gone out the exhaust
I've drained my 6m before, and only got 3L out of it

Have you ever heard of a dipstick? I've never measured the amount of oil going into my engine, I just pour oil until the dipstick says it's full!

yeh, but i didnt wait long enuff i guess, and more oil drained to the bottom, to show it way above F on the dipstick.
i am not a dipstick, i know what a dipstick is. 
well thats shit, i didnt realise the filter was a cheapie,
ah well its not very old anyway.

i used to throw in a complete bottle of hpr40 into my 5me...was a little overful, but a good indication of how much it used...also used the larger genuine toyota filters.
Allan...5me's dont use z9's!

the one i got from bloody supercheaps catalogue were something far smaller than a z9...a z131 "maybe"
but nowhere near as big as a z9....i remember commenting on how big the toyota one was compared to the ryco!

You guys crack me up  . I just did a complete oil change and filter change on my 5M-E...
Anyway, my brother's SA63 used to drain out 400mL and the rest of the oil went into the atmosphere (burnt). Doen't do it now, just got the head rebuilt 
Cheers.

Well both my manuals (the cars and the Hynes) say 4.6L for a drain and refill (do MX62's have the same sump as MA61, I thought so?).
Cheers
