    How much oil

    Hello from Tasmania, I am looking for some assistance. My 10/1998 Manual Nissan Patrol GQ TD42 requires an oil change and my question is how much oil is required including replacing the two oil filters. Some would call me a dumb-ass but when I lived in QLD I had all this and much more information written on my garage wall and with the patrol now relegated to second in line with my daily driver being a small SUV for my mother's comfort and convenience (to get her to and from her many doctors appointments) my memory is lacking in these required details.
    I have managed to get by without a need of a manual due to friends having said same model as well as the bookwork handy to source any information we needed, but now I live in Tassie that option like the old garage wall are now not available.
    Thankyou

    Download a manual from this forum.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    For the huge amount of oil or for leaving you with a opened half bottle?

    OMG, thanks for the advice. I will relook at the download manual option but last time I looked that option was locked out.

    Be aware that the download is a one page PDF file and inside that PDF there is the actual link for the manual. Easy peasy.

    Ok now I am worried, I asked for some help with oil volume so I could do an oil change. I had a reply of 9.2 Liters and another to download a manual so I did both. And the manual stated 8 Liters for a change with no new filters and 9.2 Liters with the new filters.
    Well the 9.2 was right if it included the replacement of both filters, and that is what I did two new filters and 9.2 liters of new oil but my problem is the new oil level after sitting an hour is equal to the LOW level mark on the dipstick. Yes the vehicle was on level ground and the engine was warmed up too. Any ideas on what I need to do now.
