Hey guys, just wondering how many litres the brumbys hold in the following...

Engine Oil
Gearbox
Diff
Coolant

3.0ltrs for the gearbox

Engine oil and coolant can be filled with a 5L bottle each, just don't pour the whole lot in, pour about half/3 quarters then check dipstick. For coolant park the car or jack it up so the front is highest, turn the heater dial to hot and fill it up. I usually then start the car up and watch as the coolant disappears into the air voids and keep topping up, take for a drive etc. But yours is a fresh rebuild so dunno how you'd go there. I've never had any troubles with trapped air bubbles with this method.

So they take a whole 5 liters each in the end or a bit under?
What about the rear diff?

A bit under usually, keep the rest in the car just in case
