Trust Sump Extension

[32GTRB]

Hey guys, recently changed oil and filter in my 32. Its fitted with the trust sump extension but in total only took 5l of new oil. Anyone else have the same extension and how much oil do you guys swap in when servicing?

The 5l took it to the full line on the dipstick at cold, however i believe the extension allows for am extra 1.5L?

Did you start car and re check oil?

[32GTRB]

Yep took it for a drive to warm it up

are you guys filling up to the max line? I found some people saying fill it to the hump on the dipstick, but thinking that is for track use only?

Well your dipstick should be to the max line and to get there you should have poured in more than 1 litre more than a stock sump setup.

If you have poured in just 5 L with a filter change and your reading to the full mark, then your Trust sump extension is not really adding any capacity .......and they are known for not adding much more capacity.....only 1 to 1.5 from what ive heard, hardly much of a increase compared to whats out there.

Yep the advertised increase is 1.5L only, but given i have only been able to put in 5L it seems its only actually taken in about 500ml more or so. Was thinking it should need at least 6L having drained it for over an hour.

Anyone else running one?

I wonder if they cut the sump a bit high or if its previously been fitted to another sump and cut off and refitted to yours in which case it may hold less if its been welded and cut and rewelded.
