Oil Change

[Won-tolla]

How much oil do you put in when you change the oil, what kind, and what else should you do while you are doing a change? <br /> The dealer told me not to use anything synthetic, is was too slick for the clutches.

as i have no pride, i would rather reply with a disclaimer than let you see everyone look at this and not reply.<br /><br />i went with the directions stamped on the lower end. 1.5 liter (just over 1 1/2 quarts), 30weight.<br /><br />the disclaimer is that the rotor on my is separated and the new one has not shown up yet. so it isn't running.

Since I just received my repro owner's manual, I can share what's in there. Oil should be changed every 1K miles. The crankcase oil capacity is 1.2 L (~2 Qt), but the, &quot;oil required for an oil change is approx. 1-1/2 quarts.&quot; Also, &quot;When checking the level, place the cap on the hole: do not screw it in.&quot;<br /><br />I know there is a centrifugal oil filter, but the owner's manual does not describe how to clean that.<br /><br />Tom

<br /><br />Stupid question, but as I have no pride as well I might as well ask it:<br /><br />10W30?<br />20W30?<br /><br />...and just what is the difference anyway?
