SakoTGrimes Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I did my first oil change on the Loyale today, and what a pain in the arse that car is. I couldn't get to the plug because of the skid-plate so I had to take that off first. I found a chunk of mud between the plate and oil pan that weighed about 2 pounds, I guess the heat vulcanized it or something because it was blackened and I couldn't break it. Then couldn't find my '88 owners manual, so I just put 3 quarts in. Who knows how much it holds? And when I find my '88 manual, could I go by that since '88 cars could have EA82s too? On the plus side, the Sub has the easiest to get at oil filter I've ever changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveman09 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 4 to 4.5qts Put 4 in, start the engine and run it at 2500rpm for 30seconds, shut it off and let it sit for 1min then check dipstick. FILL UNTIL AT TOP DOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 4.2 with new filter, add .5 to 1 full qt for rebuilt engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoTGrimes Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Why would you add extra oil to a rebuilt? Do they like to eat it in break-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveman09 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Because the engine is DRY thus requires more oil. You never get 100% of the oil out of the motor from pulling the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
