2.3 l duratec oil

[wild bill]

Could someone confirm the oil capacity for 2.3l duratec with filter and no oil cooler is it 5l? ive tried searching here and google and that's my best guess so far.

Cheers

In addition anyone running a 2.3 l duratec on throttlebodies in an S3 chassis could you tell me where you route the throttle cable? caterham supplied the LH drive cable which would make sense but its alot shorter than my previous cable which i ran down the chassis and across the front cross member then up under the TB's. This time i'm tempted to curve around and over the gearbox bell housing then up and under so a kind of large S. If not i'll have to get a bespoke made up but it's a bit of a pain if i can find a better solution.

 

Thx

4.5 litres for oil and filter change according to the CC Owner Handbook.  Available on line.

My throttle cable is "curved around and over the gearbox bell housing then up and under".  The engine takes a bit under 5L to come up to the full mark on the dipstick.
