The mechanics filled the engine oil to just over the "H" on the dipstick but below the indent on the stick its self. After getting the rear main and the gasket's done, I've emptied about 500ml to get the oil level spot on the top of the cross-hatch below the "H' letter. Where abouts do you guys fill it to?

Cheers,

Gavin.

5L of fully synthetic, same quantity as my L28ET & FJ20ET (but different viscosity).

The oil type and quality I'm not worried about, just the level on the dipstick.

I put 4.8L incl filter in to it and it was over the cross-hatch and just over the H aswell. Mine's a 2.5L non-turbo. I think it's got about 4.5L in it now to cover the cross-hatch on the stick. Just wondered why most mechanics always fill the oil to over the cross-hatch and just over the full marker, they must really me back for another $500 rear main job.

I haven't gone fully synthetic as it's already got near 100,000K's and magnatec seems to stick well to the camshaft so I'm happy before I turn on the key for the extra little savings.

    • I've got some bad news unfortunately.  Turns out the car has some serious chassis damage and failed a structural report, which was needed because of a failed roadworthy.   I'm now sitting here wondering wtf I'm supposed to do with a car that I can't register and needs serious body work. 😓 Seriously feeling lost, ripped off and depressed over this. 
    • FYI if interested  Brake rotors got taken down to 389mm for clearance and all things adjusted accordingly #bolton Had a quick retune of the retune to change the VCT window plus some of this and that Took 7 weeks for me to get a barrell of fuel to run my car on the track = W.A Actually attempted to drive this thing on the track after 6 months when this shouldve really been 3 monthly ago Only a few laps - stuff didnt go right because electronic aids in the car mean you drive it a certain way when its indicated they are on and they are actually not things dont go great quickly - car fixed and refreshed + thats been fixed with additional warnings and other thing built in now Noted - even mucking around at prob 60 - 70% the aero was now hitting the ground where it hadnt previously at 100% plus the balance of the car is improved - hence without shock pots etc etc you can tell the new aero additions have done something reasonably significant Suspension out - change the bumps and some packers  Tried to go out again - lightning and thunder storms / rain in Perth for the  first time in 50 years for the hour I had - didnt get out V8SC are now here so no track time at Barbs for many weeks - an going to try go down to our other track a few hours away and try to get in the seat Got the below as a pressie recently - yes I dont mind the odd lego + this is very good I think and if not into lego even can appreciate someones craftmanship of this level  
    • ok will do, cheers guys build thread on M35 Stagea Tuner Facebook group here if you can't wait. 
    • look up "kota the yota" on youtube he runs an export business to the us and specialises in r34's
    • I understand that the R34 ECU can be sensitive to what is going on wrt the coilpacks/loom. You'd be well advised to put a Consult reader onto the diagnostic port and read the codes. The one(s) in the ECU will be the ones most likely to tell you what's going on. The TCS light will be a secondary effect.
