Engine Oil Capacity

[cslsuperfan]

Now I know the sump holds 7 litres

but if the dash says +1.1L does this mean the capacity is 8.1L??

You could overfil with as much as you like and it will never read more than +1.1

Yea

Top it up the the recommended level and drive it for a bit to let the oil level sensor sort it's life out then add a little at a time until your at the 1.0 / 1.1 mark
Once you go over that it will only ever read 1.1 and you might be over filling it.

Hi Ben if your talking about Csl 5.5 lt with filter change but sure you must know that, Between the top n bottom lines on dipstick about 1.2 lt. Unless we are talking about something else. 😳

I wasn't aware it was 5.5 as I've always had it done by BM's finest

Knowledge is power they say!!


Decided on a DIY oil service to save some pennies.

Hi Ben. On oil change if I put in about 5.5 lts. Readout on dash would show about +.2 Lts. By adding another .5Lts dash says about. +.8Lts So dash read out is very accurate, other than that I would check on dip stick. So in my book 5.5Lts is bang on chad
