Hi all,
I have a GQ 4.2 patrol 1993 model, no turbo, was wondering how much oil the the engine takes on a oil change, i filled up last night, and she took about 11 liters and i fear that this maybe a little too much.

11 litres is about right.
Back when I was an apprentice I was helping a tech do an oil change on a Maverick TD42. We'd drained the oil, changed the filters and were refilling the oil. He was sitting on the bullbar pouring the oil in from the 1 litre bottles that we had, I was refilling the bottles and handing them back to him. After a while he called out "how much oil do these things take, I've put 15 litres in already and it hasn't even touched the end of the dipstick..................oh s@#t I forgot the sump plug!"

Hey mate, to help put your mind at ease, Both of my TD42s take 11ltrs per service.
Does it matter if you are under or over by 500mls?
Im about to attempt to do mine in 1000kms time.
Have a 10Litre Penrite 10/40w ready to go.
I can see the oil filters being a big mess lol
Cheers for posting was just about to ask the same question...mainly coz I couldnt be assed walking out to get the book from the glovebox...:beer:
so long as you keep it above the low mark on the dip stick. also too much is not good( guy came in my car's lost power and barley idles... drained 11 L from a 5 L sump.... pistons were very close to, if not hitting the oil)Quote:
