Steveh7 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Just thought I'd drop a quick line on a recent experience Carried out an oil change with appollo and when warm the oil level was just over max on the dip stick. When cold the oil level was about half way, I'm sure this was the same as pre oil change. Anyways the oil temp on track and road has always crept up to about 100 when giving it some stick. After reading a few posts I managed to drain some oil out of the sump plug so that the oil when hot now reads bang in the middle of the dip stick. The oil temp now reads a good 5-10 degrees lower which is has got to be a good thing Moral of the story is don't get carried away when topping up Just thought it might interest a few people out there about to do the basics like me. stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRIS CLARK Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Crankshaft thrashing around deep in the oil can't do the oil aeration 'problem' much good either. Ah, so thats why you fitted the Apollo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Same experience recently due to an over-eager top-up at a sprint. My temps were 5-7ish degrees higher than normal as a result.
