andlid Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 fecking tried to calculate how much oil I needed for gearbox change and thought 3 bottles would be enough, not thinking that US dudes use the 'quarts' system! Now I calcualte that I got 2.835 or somewhere near there and I'd need 2.9 really ... can I go ahead anyway and top up later or will it be enough with 3 quarts?

Which is close enough but top up to the required level asap if required. Make sure that the oil is SAE 75W-85 -API GL4+ Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
