How much oil and torque settings for the sump plugs
Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2008 11:27 am
Hi,
Sorry to ask questions that I know will have been asked before (I searched but couldn't find what I was after).
Just doing an engine and gearbox oil change on my car (72 T, oil tank in front of the rear wheel) and wondered if there are any specific torque settings for the four plugs I need to retighten (sump, tank and 2 x gearbox)? Or am I best just tweaking them up and keeping an eye on them for leaks?
Also, following a complete oil drain and filter change, how much oil should I expect to put back in the engine and gearbox?
It's been sat draining oil for quite some time due to me being busy so it should be pretty empty.
Cheers, Ross.
