haggis Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 sound colin,only thing is it will expand and go past full when hot as it expands ?like i put mine full when cold . then was doing some journeys checked when engine hot and its about 5 or 6 mm past the full line Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I personally fill to just below the max mark when I'm servicing my cars.John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 When hot the oil might expand as much as maybe 200ml i wouldnt worry about over filling a smidge anyway. On the 2000 plate corollas they had an oil burnig issue. The fix they gave was to put a different dip stick in so you added extra oil so it lasted between services 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I prefer to overfill the starlets a little, mainly because all mine burn oil and also id rather there was more oil in the sump when doing fast corners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haggis Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 okay cheers i wont bother draining any this time then. i heard the oil seals can go if over filled so got a bit para so full when cold is okay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
