Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
I would first clean it really good . then run it & check to see where the leak is . if still not sure , use the oil dye for leaks . it will be very obvious then ........

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
Most guys including me find the rear main can leak if too full. When I change oil I only add 4 quarts, which puts the lever just below the full line.

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
BTW, 4 liters is actually more than 4 quarts.

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
So, how is oil packaged in Canada or Australia? When I was in Canada this past summer, the oil that I purchased was in liters.

Supermarkets have 4 litre containers and auto parts stores have up to 20 litre drums. I'm aware of only one servo in my town that still uses the old style refillable bottles with the screw-on pouring spout. I see these at the swap meets for maybe $70!! |

Same here in Canada as Hoogah described for Australia.

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
Like Hoogah says, liquids are by the litre. It's always a head scratcher when US instructions talk about fluid ounces. Most times, I end up taking a guess.

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
1 US Fluid Ounce = about 30 ML or CC (actually 29.573529564111873)
So when someone tells you to add 4 ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil to your fuel, that would be about 120 ML

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
That's good but I've never seen Marvel Mystery Oil here.

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
When I have my Imperial Pint filled at the pub, why do they charge me more, or under fill my German Pilsner pint?

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
I was in England in the 70's (Air Force), and the regular English Pint was 20 oz. So you got a good pint for your money. But the IMPERIAL GALLON (God Save the Queen), was 5 Quarts... God Bless The Queen! Had my share playin' darts!

Re: Oil Filler Tubes Baffles Adjustment
I don't know where you can find it DOWN UNDER, MATE, but it is good stuff. I use it in my gas, and I've used it to clean valves and rings.
