GM quadchip 160 owners?

[leswold]

Hi, I'm trying to find the eng oil capacity as the owner's manual doesn't say, at least I couldn't find it. Anyone?

Its only a small engine, cant you just buy a 5l tub and keep any spare for topping up?

[leswold]

Yeah, that's what I do but need to know the capacity in order to add some useful oil treatment.

Well changing the oil wont do it any harm so 5l of new oil and a filter and you will know how much it takes

 

Failing that its a Kubota engine and the volumes must ne somewhere on the internet, its what the net is for

[leswold]

You're right of course, just me being lazy.

[treequip]

Out of interest, why the additive?

[Wolfie]

If it's the V1505 engine like that in the TW150 then it's around 5 litres,

A trusted garage owner/friend had been really blown away when he tried to destroy a petrol engine after using it & asked me to try some in the TD5 eng, gear/transfer boxes & diffs. The reduction in noise & hopefully friction impressed me enough to put some in the other vehicles we use so I thought as the 160 has just been serviced, it'd do no harm to use it there too.

Drop the old oil out into a container and measure the volume, then you know how much to put back in.

 

Tip, if you use the wife's best kitchen measuring jug it's best to wash it before giving it back.

On refilling put 3.5ltr in leave it 5 mins check it on dip stick and then keep adding say half ltr and note how much it moves on dipstick keep note of actually how much you use for future. Just ensure you don't overfill As mentioned Prob around 5 ltr. That why I say put 3.5 in then use your additive. I have for 20 years always added a product called Slick 50 a friction reduction additive to all my engines and I'm convinced they run better and longer. It's around 20 quid so against cost of machine and in my opinion longevity and increased performance it's a so so small cost.
