Gary Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hi I'm round my mates........................ He is changing his engine oil on a 2001 D110 Td5.............. Can't remember the correct quantity of oil to put back in. I think it's 7.5 L Can someone confirm this cause I'm have a "blonde moment" and my mind is blank cheers, g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 I think it's 7L when just changing just the oil................ but he has changed his 2 engine oil filters as well, so i think you allow an extra 0.5L Just not sure I keep telling him to bye a workshop manual I feel a right twit having to ask this online g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Another question people............. What oil pressure reading should my mate expect to see from his newly installed Racetech gauge? Regards, g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I thought it was 7.2 but not sure... Suggest slop in 7L and look at the dipstick seeing as that is wot it is there for.... No idea on oil pressure. More than a V8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 I thought it was 7.2 but not sure...Suggest slop in 7L and look at the dipstick seeing as that is wot it is there for.... No idea on oil pressure. More than a V8 Cheers BogBuster Thank you for taking the time to answer mate We did put in 7l in the end and fired her up for a few mins......... Then checked the dip stick but that seemed to be almost dry. The Problem with the Td5 is, the manual recommends running the engine on tick over for 5 mins b4 checking the dipstick for a level. I have checked to find out for definate when I got home (I have workshop manuals for my own Defender but not with me when I posted this thread earlier). We are a little out. It's an 8.2L refill when changing filters as well........ plus a tiny bit more to allow for the capillary pipe to gauge The reason that I couldn't remember for definate is, my own Td5 has a slighter larger capacity again from 8.2L to allow for an additional turbo guard oil tank. Ever since I have fitted that, I can never seem remember the exact quantities involved. Link for the website with the correct info............ http://www.web-rover.co.uk/nav.php?p=td5kb/fluids Can't believe I didn't think of Martins website b4 posting this thread But then, I didn't have a good day or feel well earlier Still need to know what oil pressure he should idealy looking for from his new gauge.

Mehetabel Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I thought it was 7.2 but not sure...Suggest slop in 7L and look at the dipstick seeing as that is wot it is there for.... No idea on oil pressure. More than a V8 For a ball park the pressures for a 2.6l are 8 -12# at idle [and the idiot light], runs 40 -60# pressure relief ~50# at 30 mph on a hot engine. Ask me why I know this off the top of my head, go ahead I dare you BTW my pressure problem is BACK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
