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

Engine Oil
Gearbox
Diff
Coolant


Cheers Cam

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?

Cheers Cam

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

Here you go Cam
