Hey everyone,

I just wanted to ask how much oil in liters do you all put in your M35's. There's one serious problem that I have noticed with our cars is that the dipstick is absolutely useless. You cant really read it accurately. Initially I thought it was only my car but I've serviced a number of M35's with the same problem. Yes I shouldve measured the oil coming out but I never do.

thanks

I usually put just under 5LT's in....run the engine for a while and top it up the next day if needed. The dipstick is useless for me as well....let it settle overnight and it should give you a reading though.

I just put 5 liters in to account for the little bit that leaks out of the rocker. :D Nice and easy, the whole bottle. Usually just over the fill line once the filter is full.

Yep, +1 for 5L.

Just means you are very slightly over filling.... may account for the the amount that fills up in the dipstick once you turn the engine over.

The dipstick is very readable if you check it first thing in the morning before starting the car.... as Craig said.

yeh the stageas are around 4.7 to 4.8L (I thought 4.8)

in my rb26 Ive added an oil cooler kit with 2m of braided lines to external oil filter

in the stagea c34 I use 5L for the road or 5.5L if heading to the track

I am not sure how much my Subaru Outback takes but who gives a shit as it is not a VQ25DET.

Really!!!

In our old R31 we use about 8.2lts....with the enlarged and baffled sump + the 2 large oil coolers it needs it. Oh and my wifes U13 Bluebird use's about 4.3lts......Dad's Touareg uses about 6.5lts....and. mums prelude....welll thats a tricky one because it's auto and I think from memory the motor bleeds into the GB......My sister has a WRX and they use about 4lts.......brother in law has a falcon....think they are about 5.5lts.

Oh thats right we were talking about an M35's.....or was I missing something! Did I read the title right?

Amount Of Engine Oil You Guys Put In Your M35

Or did I just confuse anyone that wants to find out how much oil an M35 uses by posting up a whole heap of spam that has no relation to a VQ25DET!!! :(

In saying that lets go back to the M35 answers!

Yep, +1 for 5L.

P.S. Sorry in advance if I have offended anyone....thats not what I was trying to do!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
