They have finally started selling engine in 7 litre packs. Seeing these engines take 6.9 by the book i tipped the whole bottle in.
When i dipped it before starting to fill the filter it was on the full mark, after starting and shutting down it was 3/4the way down to the low mark, thats when i used to add oil till it was at the full mark so probably 7.75ish litres.
So as it happens I have been over filling for the last 160k but seems ok.
So I figure while running round town I will just leave it as is and when towing the camper top iit up with the extra 3/4 litre.
Now the other point, question really.
While doing the brake fluid change i never completely empty the front or rear resivoir, just get it very close to empty so no air gets in then top it up to max and run it down to almost empty half right and half left both for front and rear.
Question is seeing the new fluid is the same colour is this enough to completely flush the old stuff out, takes about 1 litre to do this leaving the resivoir full?
