And yes, refill capacity is a whopping 7 litres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the price of Mobil 1's 0W-40 you can buy a lot of other (still very decent) oil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are everyones thoughts.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>If you are in hotter climates or regularly work your T hard then use either a 10W-50 or 15W-50 oil. In extreme cases perhaps even 10W-60.If you are in cooler climates or use a less intensive driving style then look for a 0W-40, 5W-40, 10W-40 or 15W-40.Look for the latest API rating of SM/CF.In my opinion, whether these oils are Shell, Mobil or Castrol etc it doesn't really matter. If you are feeling patriotic then get a Penrite or Nulon oil. They are Australian made and owned.Muz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
