Does anyone know what the oil capacity of the 1.9TDi PD100 is please? I suspect it'll be the same as the PD130.

My owners manual seems to have omitted this rather vital piece of information!

Ta,

Its approx 5L if I remember right......

4.5 is the usual amount I get in mine. Can be annoying as you always have a dribble left over from a 5 litre pot, but could be handy for top-ups (like they ever need them )

THe pd100 engine was the same.

Cheers.

I changed the oil in our Vrs yesterday.

I drained the oil cooler aswell this time and refilled. It took 4.5L but I noticed when I checked it last night that it was past the shaded area, it was just at the bend in the dipstick.

Will this be OK or should I suck a litre out so it is not overfilled?

It'll be OK I reckon. Draining a litre will send it the other way and there'd be too little in there.

Thanks for that.

i think its nearer 4.3 ltrs that is required

I'd say it was about 4.3 litres that went in.

The engine was noticeably loosened up afterwards, might change my intervals and do the oil every 7k instead of every 10k.

I drained the oil cooler aswell

How did you do that?

might change my intervals and do the oil every 7k instead of every 10k.

i do oil changes on mine at 2.5-3k , but then i get the oil free

I'm doing mine every 6k to 7k now. Just not taking any chances with "old oil" even if 10k is more than enough for 505.01 stuff.

2.5-3k :eek: That'd be every 1.5 months for me.

Actually, all things considered, I suspect my engine is wearing more slowly than the average as I commute 45 miles each way to work, so the engine is rarely used for short journeys and I can't afford to drive it hard on the commute so it trundles around most of the time.
