TOPPING UP ENGINE OIL FROM WITHIN THE CAB

Post by Tru3Meg27 » Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:52 am

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ACCESS TO THE ENGINE CAN BE MADE FROM WITHIN THE CAB ..ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IF SO, HOW DOES ONE ADJUST OR REMOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT. REASON FOR MY QUERY........I WISH TO CHECK OR TOP UP THE OIL. I DO NOT WISH TO MAKE ACCESS FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU IN ANTICIPATION. :roll:

Asolutely brilliant. Well done that man!
TruMeg,
The oil filler is at 10 o'clock from the dipstick.

I've done a video for topping the oil up. Mine was a bit low and I video anything I do now.
I didn't post it because I wasn't sure if I'd done it belt and braces.
So the question is...
After I pour some oil in can I leave it for a moment and check the dipstick or should I run the engine for a short time before checking it?

Hi Ozric
Just leave it for a few seconds, so that it can drain into the sump, then check it again.

Maybe to fill from underneath a technique that is the reverse of syphoning, massive blowjob device required ?

If you video everything you do Ozzric does that mean a new category for the forum for viewing after the watershed ?? :lol: :lol: :lol:
