I have a GU td 4.2 just used the CEM oil flush on it, bugger all crap came out
So far so good... the manual I have tells me it holds 9.5 litres of oil including filters

My question is I have re filled with oil, just under 10 litres but the dip stick
Only just shows oil….just how much oil do they hold

I can be to sure but….the last service I’m sure I put in some where around 13 litres
Any ideas…it’s a Dec 2003 Build

Cheers

Had the manual out for something else and just had a look. It quotes 10.5 litre with oil filters.

06 build if any help

Mine's an 03 and used to own a 2000 and 10.5 litres would be correct. Given the size of the donk a bit over would not matter. You would probably find the same result for the GQ's as well for this motor.

When you put the oil in did you let it idle for about 1min. to let the oil through to the filter/s then let it sit for 5mins then check again.
