OIl level on dipstick


Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon,

Currently have a K & N oil filter  + oil cooler fitted to my CP TR6. Please advise is filling to the full marker the correct thing to do.

Is too much oil in the system a bad thing as the K & N filter holds a quantity of oil together with the radiator of the oil cooler + pipes

Would this mean oil pressure increases?

 I have good oil pressure currently

Many Thanks

Kevin

Kevin,

you should maintain the level on the dipstick, regardless weather a spin-on oil filter or cooler is fitted. But you will need more oil than the WSM indicates for changing.

I have a long “2009” fitted too, but no cooler.

The oil pressure should not be affected by much, practically. An oil cooler will give a bit  more of resistance. When racing or in very hot weather, it could help to reduce loss in in pressure compared to normal driving by keeping the oil cooler.

PS: the opinions on the need of an oil cooler differ on this forum, I do not have one, but each to his own.
