Oil Starvation


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi I noticed the other day when i pulled away on a steep hill that one of the followers on my 2.0 Silvertop went noisy which after a couple of mins quietened down,it also seems to happen if i give the car a lot of stick,it is fitted with a dunnell sump the oil level is right but does anybody know the amount of oil it should hold in case the dip stick is wrong,also under hard cornering there is a little bit of smoke out of the exhaust

Cheers Tommy

Also keen to hear about this... :)

Apparently, for a Dunnell shallow sump, the notch in the dipstick (if it's standard) is for when the car has just been shut off. I made a new notch in mine about 15mm higher, which I use when the oil has settled and is cold.
