How Much Oil In Rb25det?

[VKYOOT]

Just dropped the oil from my mates 33 and wanted to know what the capacity of oil is, like roughly how much we need to put in it.

its a 94 model r33 with a series 2 engine

in the rb25det put the whole bottle in (5ltrs) should just be enough:D

Put in 4 litres, wait for it to drain, check the level and add more if needed. Around 4.5L is usually enough.

4.3ltrs to be exact

Agreed very much so with govich and Ltheorejreweriowere

Put in 4. then add, check, repeat.

I've never put in more than 4.5-6 L. You can never get it all out.

I changed my oil today as it turns out.

I let it drain for about 10min, took off the filter and replaced with a new one.

I use Redline oil so one big bottle is 3.7lt and then around 2/3 of the a 0.95l bottle i.e. ~600ml. for a toal of ~4.3l

Comes out right on the line after a run my car and let it sit for a while.

Never overfill!

Just did my oil, and my driveway isn't flat, so there's a bit of guesswork involved in the level. Took the old oil back to Supercheap for recycling and checked it again on the flat after letting it sit for 5 min - just below the top mark ?

I thought it would need a bit more, as the 5litre bottle seemed to have quite a bit left.

What is the danger in over filling?

I've heard others mention "a bit" over the top mark is fine - is this true? should you never exceed the top line?

cheers

Its quite normal to overfill for track use so don't panic if you drop a bit more in. But it makes sense to put about 4L in and then dip it. Assume that you will replace the oil filter every time.
