R154 fluid capacity?

[spiller]

Can anyone fill me in? doing an oil change and want to make sure that 4L is enough! I've done a V160 getrag before and they take stuff all, but I remember the R154 capacity as much larger, just unsure as to the exact number.

cheers

Hi,

A smidge over 4ltrs when filling from stripped down bone dry. I just changed the oil in mine and used a little less than 4ltrs.

Cheers,

Thanks for the info pete, I might buy an extra litre on top of the 4L container just in case I need it.

Mine have all taken pretty much 3L before it started coming out the fill hole. This page lists the capacity as 3L: http://www.turbosupras.com/pages/pag...ZA70/jza70.htm

yeah someone else is another thread linked that one too but I remember reading something like 4L elsewhere., oh well i bought 5L just to be sure so if I have 2 left over ill just do the diff as well as its out atm.

Just put 4l in and if it doesnt over flow get more....

What grade oil are you using ? as you mentioned you might do the diff with the extra 2 litres left over ..

If the oil viscosity grade is too high it will be a dog to change gears when the oils are cold ..

thanks guys, i had bought some Castrol VMX80 (have used it in the past with no dramas). I inteded on changing it before going to the track on the weekend but when i got under the car I realised you can only undo the filler plug with a 20mm (?) ring spanner, of which I didnt have! So I just left it and actually the box felt pretty bloody good all day once it had some heat in the oil, its a bit of a pig to shift, particularly down from 3rd to 2nd when its not hot but thats just typical used R154 I think.
