what is it these things take 5L of systhetic?

 

6.5 quarts of mobil 1

 

6.5L of oil, as long as it mobil1 or royal purple

 

thats what i figured but synthetic right

i wanted to try royal purple is it worth it?

 

mobil is a class 4 il royal purple is a class 5 which is a little bit better its up in the air with that

 

any quality oil would be fine for everyday use.

 

wow.... 6.5 ?? ive always put 6 in...cuz 5 doesnt show on stick. the manual shows 5 qts....

 

The manual is wrong, it takes more than 5 quarts.

It always takes me 6.25 quarts to get the dipstick to read full (after driving and letting the car sit for at least 30 minutes).

The OP also stated 5 liters. It should take closer to 5.9 or 6 liters to fill the LSJ with oil.

 

how do u reset the oil guage buttton

 

make sure the screen is on the screen that shows your percentage, and then just turn the ignition key into the on position, but do not start it, and then press the gas petal 3 times to the floor, and it should reset... I also run royal purple in my car, have been since I get it new... runs great I think

 

yeah wish i known that the first time. not even the dealership knew that! i had to call a tech to find out. those idiots

 

i have been using 5 quarts for the life of my car and never had any problem so how can the manual be wrong

 

6.5qts of Castrol Syntec 0w-30

 

i used royal purple and it cause my valve cover gasket to leak on the side of the engine. went make to mobile 1 and it disapeared.

 

I use 5qts mobil 1

 

my manual says 6qts, but my car always takes 6.5qts.

 

Do you check the oil? The LSJ takes around 6 quarts. If you have been using 5 quarts only you are running the engine 1 quart low all the time.


You have a LNF engine. LNF uses 5 quarts.

 

amsoil

 

I've heard that royal purple doesn't clean? Don't know how true that it. I've also heard about amsoil. What's that all about. I put in 6qt of mobile 1. That gets it to the full line, also use bosch oil filter

 

i hope you have better luck than me. i used a bosch oil filter once thinking it would be better than the ac delco, and boy was i wrong. when i took the bosch filter out during an oil change, i found a caved in/ twisted mess of a filter. i went back to the ac delco, and have never had a problem since.

 

The manual for the LSJ states 5.7L of oil. When my oil gets changed, It takes just over 5.7L of oil to get to the full line on the dipstick. I buy a 4.4L jugs of Mobile 1 and and two 1L bottles when changing the oil. You will have some extra left in the second 1L bottle.

 

I know what you're talking about. That happened with me when i used the mobil 1 filter

 

the twisting should be fine, that is because the oil filter is an internal and it is just a tad large to ensure that it seals.

 

yeah the twisting doesent hurt the filtering ability of the filter just cosmetic.

 

the ac delco one never deforms ....
