| Post subject: | Re: How much oil |
personally I'd use something a LOT better but I suppose any oil is better than none. if shit is that tight go to the supermarket and but a castrol,valvoline or any name brand 20/50w oil that they have on special not home brand. I run a 5w 40 fuchs synthetic in my zook and all my cars but I get it free and zook loves it. ps yes the two oils will mix |

Homebrand oil is recycled, isn't it? |

cheers...... Why do people ask simple questions without saying what they are asking about??? A suzuki bike will take less then a sierra, but a suzuki earth mover will take more, the GV take more then a 1L ...... What zook???? What engine??? What year??? May help us give you better advise. |

Wait... suzuki make earthmovers?? all suzuki car engines need at least 3L, but the simple answer is fill it up to the dipstick, un it for a few minutes the check distick. if it needs it refill |

Any Engine can run on 3litres. But from memory a 1.3 Sierra engine Will be near full at 4.4/4.5litres. |

Swifts the same capacity... i got the FSM if you need me to double check
Can we have some pictures? either you got a custom high capacity sump or you have got way to much oil (ie you can fit 5l in a standard 1.3l, it will chew throught it AND the stuff it doesnt will rob you of power ) |

I use the Castrol website for their lube guide. Bottom left corner of the front page under "Toolkit" - 'Workshop Lube Guide'. |

ok fellars just out of interest I drained my sump of the new oil all 4.5 liters and refilled back with 3.5litres as the book says. either I have a larger sump or the wrong dipstick as 3.5 only just shows under the low mark onthe stick. anyway Ill give it a run like this and see I guess. |
