-
Yep 5.75 litres
-
you will have to crack open a new bottle, its annoying on V6. 4 pots fill nicely with 5L
-
all went ok silly place to put a oil filter. thanks all sorted,you think thay would make a 6l bottle.
-
Then they wouldnt be able to sell you another 5 litre can.

As the saying goes, it anointeth your head with oil......

For the designed application, the filter location was perfect.... ....then they decided to put it in a RWD car ;)

Is it perhaps opportune to mention about the lid of the canister filter`s propensity to be stuck-fast (due to previous overtightening)....this can lead to bouts of swearing, use of a hammer in frustration and (if the canister`s rubber sealing face moves relative to the engine block) any leak can only be remedied by re-tightening the internal hollow fixing.....which if the lid is stuck, will cause a bigger problem than the leak itself. ;)
A (future) maintenance guide for resolving the stuck canister-lid situation would surely be useful. :y
-
perhaps we should add here that if a cannister is broken (expensive replacement ) whilst doing a filter change there is an adapter to change the system to a "modern" cannister screw on filter
-
now you tell me

Which is actually a step back in technology ;)
Either work well, the paper ones are cheaper and, some might say, slightly better :-\
-
May be but I understand that a replacement cannister for a paper filter is very expensive And changing the composite one at oil change time is a doddle
-
if anyone thinks oil will be the end of their omega then i can only suggest help now!! whilst oil changes are necessary i would think that most of these cars are going to be taken off the roads by rust and ungodly suspension repairs!!, i hope i'm wrong as my suspension is fairly new!!
