Bongo v6 oil top up

Post by Brian Gillespie 78 » Fri Sep 09, 2022 7:05 pm

Hi

Appologies in advance for sounding like an idiot but i wanted to double check where you fill the engine oil on a 2.5 v6, the reason im unsure is theres a place you fill aft up and a place for engine oil
Thanks 😊

I don't recommend filling the AFT up with oil it gets very messy as it drips thru the inner roof ;-)
However filling up the ATF is a different matter, its filled with Dexron 3 spec. oil. you fill it down the dip stick tube (drivers side) after checking the level in the correct manner (warmed up, engine running etc.) .
The V6 engine oil is also under the drivers seat but has a normal oil cap visible, 5W/30 or 10W/30 are both OK in our temperatures in the UK.
