MoJoJoe 46 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 I am getting some engine oil from SCA tomorrow, the engine has done 150K and fairly good condition, anybody know how much oil it needs? I will drain it and refill it, I heard it was 7.5 liter? also what oil should I go with semi synthetic or synthetic?? I was thinking to go 10w 40?

Eagle 1669 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 Doubt it would take 7.5L, thats near V8 capacity. I use Penrite 10W40 full synthetic, well priced too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 Agree penrite is ideal. Otherwise chief 10w40 is a little cheaper and meets bmw ll01 specs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoJoJoe 46 Report post Posted April 13, 2014 thanks, I think I will try that Cherokee/Chief stuff you mention, I kinda like the shape of the drums so can anybody tell me how much does the engine take? google tells me that its 7.5L from us forums, I am not sure, so asking.
