How many liters of oil into the 2.5 DID?

Postby bobtriton on Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:13 am

I have looked all around and can`t find any post about this topic oil engine. :oops: :oops:
I have pour 7.5 liters into it last week, find it three or four milimeters over upper oil stick hole.
First oil change at dealer had 8 liters and was higher on the oil stick as i remember. :roll:
How many liters do you pour into your 2.5 diesel engine? :geek:

What oil did you go for. I was told the wrong sort would cause the particulate filter to block up. From memory I was recommended to use a synthetic.

Depending on how long you let it drain and the temp that it is drainign ataround 7-7.3 litres is about right.

Definately no DPF on Triton.

Diesel Particulate Filter

It removes the sooty yucky bad stuff from the exhaust gas.

Thanks Racer, I use the original Mitsubishi oil filter. Mobil sells one that is specialy suited for syntetic oil users. But I ignore if it is a DPF.

I get it, thanks ag9111 something like a catalic converter? :roll:
In the trucking industry there is a centrifugal motor oil filter thar is very respected keeping sloot off, but I ignore if other heavy oil components into the new oils can be drained off too with a systen like this.
