Adrian Williams Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 I've just upgraded to a 6 speed box which is now in the car. The Caterham manual gives the oil capacity as 1.9 litres, however I can only get 1.5 litres in before it starts coming back out again. Is the manual wrong or should I tip the car on it's side to get the other 400ml in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 only put in the amount it needs till it runs out dont over fill it use the book as a guide only {warning dont overfill }caterhams instructions book is best used as a guide or to put your coffee cup on fredid=blue> smile.gif Edited by - fred on 17 Feb 2002 10:59:28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinwhitcher Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 your find that the gearbox comes with an amount of "production oil" in already you will probally find that is the reason why you can't put any more in. don't worry just fill untill it starts to trickle out of the filler hole let it settle for a while then put the plug in place.Bingo....smile.gif Martin Edited by - martin whitcher on 17 Feb 2002 17:48:58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 1.5L is about right . I refilled mine with the car set on ramps on the drivers side - this only got another 200ml in . Which oil are you running now ?? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
