What is the oil capacity of Z after APS oil pan install ?

 

same as before.... 5 quarts or else your car will smoke like a chimney due to the turbo oil drain lines.

 

5.3 quarts with oil filter change and 5.0 quarts without.

 

I have a greddy tt with an APS oil pan. I put in 6 qts every time I change the oil and oil filter. I don't smoke.

 

I put in 5.5 qts every oil and filter change with no problems.

 

I always did 5.5 or just a hair more. It just has to come up to the LOW level on your dipstick, not any higher.

 

I put 5 quarts in, maybe 5.5 quarts. Any more, it will increase back pressure in the oil return lines from the turbos to the point oil exit the turbo seals (APS TT kits only) and burn into smoke out your exhaust.

 

+1... just did mine...5.5 w/filter

 

Yup 5.5 with filter and your set.

 

5 -5.5 Max!

 

Are we talking with or without the oil line fix?

 

Even with the fix...if I put over 5.5 quarts in my car when I come to a stop I get a hint of partially burnt oil smell...as soon as the level gets back below 5.5 quarts..it goes away.

 

I was told by APS to put 5.5 quarts in.

 

damn, i just put 6.5 quarts. I'll take some of it out asap then. Thanks for the inputs all.

 

bringing this thread from the death...

people with APS TT and oil cooler, what oil capacity do you put in your Z with and without changing filter?

 

Basicly you want the dip stick to read around the LOW marking. The reason being is the oil return line on the APS kit is to the oil pan and you want to only allow so much oil above that point. If you want to run more oil, do so a little bit at a time until you get what seems to be smoking at idle. I would not go above the middle of High and Low on the dip stick.

I can make a solid smoke screen if i warm my car up by driving around for 15 mins. Then let it cool off for 15 mins. Next, i start the car and idle it about 3 mins. Wahla! Instant 1000 sq ft cloud!!!
