cheers but how much oil?

It should be in your manual? I have the 2.5 so not sure on yours.

mines same as urs mate and i use about 7 litres i think it is mate. fill it up to full on the stick. kick it in the guts and check it again. top up if ya need to.

Check out this warning in the D40's manual. Might also apply to the D22, I don't know, perhaps someone with a D22 manual could check it out.

Engine - Turbocharger - Page 176/290
Make sure that the engine oil level is between MIN and MAX of the oil level gauge. (When engine oil
amount is more than MAX, engine oil flows into the inlet duct through blow-by gas passage, and turbocharger
is misjudged malfunction.)

In our language, it means that if you overfill the crankcase oil, the ECU might mistakenly see a turbocharger fault. With all the smarts involved, that may mean that the ECU will inhibit speed and/or engine rpm until the fault is cleared.

Moral of the story: don't overfill your oil.

cheers for that. Fark. 7 litres,. Bit different to my 2L turbo sss using 3-4 l

As far I was aware this is the moral of the story for every engine that takes oil. Sure not all have turbos but turbos aren't the only thing effected by excessive oil

fit a decent catch can so you don't have to worry about it.

Yep 7 litres with a oil filter change.

Dave.

Make sure its full but not over, dont go under the full mark, 7l sounds about right and a catch can is a definate must do.

cheers for all this guys.
