  • Dumb oil question

    I read the wrong bit in the book and put too much oil in today (rather than 5 ish litres I'm around 7).

    Will I blow a gasket or something?

    Maybe. There is worse though, if the crank slaps the oil at high revs, it could break. Drain the excess.

        Don't worry about it, they need 6 to 7 letres anyway, a little bit over wont do any harm.

            drained a bit, put a bit back in, seems to be the right level now, and a little quieter too

                    i thought they are 7l with filter?
                    i always do 5l then run for 1min then fill 1l and check, then fill 1l and check and its usually spot on.

                      I hope so i just spent well over a hundred quid on fluids and filters, i coulda saved £25 if only need 5litres.

                        Six minimum. Usually around the 7 litre mark.
