7 wonders of the world Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Are you using the Pace style cylindrical tank..?If so the oil should be 10-20mm below the top baffle with the engine running and the oil up to full temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted October 10, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted October 10, 2021 bell housing tank, on mine I have the car running, peer into the chamber and see where the level is, top up a little at a time if needs be and watch the overflow tank. But I'll check mine again today and post back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrenkidney Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Thanks Andrew,If I understand correctly, with motor hot and running, have the oil level "just under" the overflow outlet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted October 10, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted October 10, 2021 thats about the size of it by what I can gather, any excess is thrown into the catch bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I never discovered a better way. It's a lot easier with the pace external tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
