fordy 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Changed the oil at the weekend - i think ive got a shallower sump - but im not sure if the dipstick was ever modified, or what the oil capacity is - ive stuck 3.5 Litres in - is this enough - im worried about over filling it and blowing seals? thanks for any advice chris PS - Its a 1700 Xflow.

Nick M 2 Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I have a feeling it's nearer 4 and a bit litres. I *think* the capacity of my Vulcan shallow sump was seven pints which seemed to be not quite a full 5 litre can of oil. Is that vague enough for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordy 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Author Share Posted March 14, 2002 well 7 pints is about a tad over 4 litres - about 4.15 or something. So i guess i need to put a little more in. Thanks. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plowy 0 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 my x-flow car spits out into the catch tank anything over 3.2 liters and never uses any! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westfieldman 0 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 X-Flow's have an oil system like F16 fighter jets, a total loss oil system you just keep filling it up every time you refuel it. Paul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
