[Healeys] Jag Oil Question--NO HEALEY CONTENT

[Chris Masucci]

Hi Bob,

I think the 2.7 quarts are what is needed to take the level from the min on
the dipstick, up to the max line.  I think my XJ6 took about 9.5 quarts, and
the Top Up number was what it took to get from the min to the max lines.

Cheers,
Chris

   Listers,
   A friend of mine with an XJ12 could use a little help:
   "in  your  wisdom  on British cars, I noticed that the oil capacity on
   the Jag was 10.5 qt,

   but  the  "Top  up  min/max" is 2.7qt. Does this mean you can be 2.7qt
   above or below 10.5 qt?

   The  NAPA  dude  said it took 12 qt. and being trusting, I didn't give
   another thought, put

   12qt  in  and  then noticed I was about a quart high on the dip stick.
   Should I drain a quart

   or is it safe up to 13.2qt?

   It shows this "top up min/max" on the tranny to, but only 3qt.

   Ahhhh, more British specifications..."
   Any help from the pros and/or Jag owners appreciated.
