How Much Engine Oil?

[Guest preeday]

Can anyone tell me how much engine oil a 2.0L Pinto holds and also what grade, 15w40?

Cheers

3.75litres 5w30, 10w40 or most like to use 20w50

i don't think i'd try the 5w30, mark!

[Guest MarkB]

Good for cleaning the engine out, because of the lack of vehicles using 10/40 autodata now list 5/30 as an alternative for colder climates

I agree but 10w40 is ok on a good engine but the pinto was designed to use 20w50 as that was about the only multigrade oil available at the time.

15 /40 semi synthetic ,widely available good as anything on the market, but I would not go any thinner .Std cap 3.75 ltrs modded sumps can and will vary but even then std capacity is good ,mine will take upto 4.75 but generally run with std levels mowerman

[Guest John Ellis]

will it be 3.75 lts for the 1600cc pinto as well

[Guest MarkB]

3.8 for the 1.6

20 50w anything else is to thin imho
