[demis]

Hi how much oil dose a c52 gearbox need on a ae92 levin (small port if it makes any diffrance)


i want to buy some tomorrow from ripco, i would ask them but thay are $&#$% muppets

thanks

[Mr Revhead]

a 4 ltr pack will do it.

they hold around 3.5 litres. just fill it till it reaches the fill bung.

hi

i was wanting to know the amount as i already have 1 litre of it so just want to buy what i need to fill it up from dry

i seem to rember it was arout 3.2 or 3.6 litres

thanks

[Mr Revhead]

its under 4 ltrs and over 3.3
hows that?

[AceSniper]

I thought it was right on 2.6lt
so it works out best to just buy a 4lt

[Mr Revhead]

last one i did a coupla week ago took most of a new 4ltr pack

[demis]

ripco's dodge book said 2.4-2.6 liters


i seem to rember that last time i changed it i bought 3 1 liter bottles



so i bought 2L more to go with the 900ml i already have, if thats not enough then i will have to go buy some more

thanks for the help peoples

will let you know how i get on

[Mr Revhead]

*wonders wtf box he fitted the other week*

if its anything like the 20v 4age gearboxes, its 2.6ish litres.

[demis]

I filled it up today

it needed 2.6 liters

I've read in several places that the starlet c52 gearbos is supposed to take 2.2 litres. But when I filled mine after the rebuild etc it took 3.3 ish to bring the level up to the filler hole.

[Mr Revhead]

yeah thats what i found.....
so best way is just fill it to the bung hole

[AceSniper]

could be that some oil dosnt drain when you remove it meaning it takes 2.6lt to fill, but when its been removed an drained it needs more since the box was on a angle and more oil came out? dono I rember repco's book saying 2.6

I had my gearbox in pieces while putting in the lsd so it definitly was dry inside. Valid point thou for people just doing a fluid change. Usually I go for a bit of a rape around the block to get the fluid hot before I drain it, means you get most of it out.
