query on isuzu crosswind...

[Jimbob]

guys, patulong naman, i had our isuzu crosswind xuv's oil changed, nabasa ko sa manual na 5 liters of oil ang i-rerefill kung papalitan din din yung filter, which is the case. napansin ko na mukhang 5 liters is too much nung tinignan ko sa dipstick, it was over the 2 marker holes sa dipstick, and i also observed na medyo matagal mag-off yung oil pressure light, i have already drained 1/2 liter of oil, pero mukhang overfilled parin. ilan po ba talaga ang oil capacity ng crosswind? thanks peeps in advance!!! and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

i don't know about crosswinds, pero yung sa frontier namin with 2.7L engine parang 6-7liters ata. yung sa 4D56 na 2.5L 6 liters, tama ba? and yung crosswind diba 2.5L din yung engine? so hindi ba kulang ang 5liters?

the short answer: 4 liters lang talaga ang oil for the 4JA1.

the long answer: I myself has been wondering why is it that everytime I have my PMS done at the casa, they always charge me for 5 liters of engine oil tapos may sobra laging 1 liter which they give to me (in fairness to the casa). then one time, I did the oil change myself and bought 5 liters of oil. I was surprised to find out that after loading 4 liters, abot na sa full mark yung dipstick. baka they intentionally charge 5 liters para yung extra 1 liter can be used for refilling by the user. sabi nung mekaniko nakausap ko when I did my oil change, 4 liters lang daw talga capacity ng 2.5 L diesels. sinosobrahan lang minsan in case kulang yung 4 liters.

hope this helps.

happy new year

tama si rsnald 4 liters lang kaya lang sometimes depende rin sa filter kung minsan
talaga hangang 4 1/4 liters nagagamit di na hihigit pa ron kaya ako sa bahay dami na bawas sa 1 liter na oil.

[Jimbob]

guys thanks for the replies!!!

boybi, yun nga ang alam ko kaya 5 liters din ang binili ko, tapos, nung pila sa service station, yung grandia na nauna sa akin 6 liters din ang capacity,sabi nung mekaniko, yung revo diesel daw is around 5 liters, kaya pinalagay ko lahat, isa pang sinisisi ko eh yung manual, very inaccurate, pati tire pressures, di consistent sa tire info na nasa door jambs.

rsnald and jake, thanks for the info, so that explains why my engine is still overfilled, ipapa-drain ko na yung excess.

thanks again guys!!!

Jimbob, pakisabi naman sa akin kung nawala yung matagal na ilaw ng oil indicator. ganun din kasi dun sa revo namin e. pero hindi naman sobra ang langis nun. salamat! :D

When i read the manual of our Frontier, the 2.7 requires 5+ something liters of oil with the filter... nalabuan din ako coz when i got to the casa, they say 6-7L yung kailangan. :?

I havent gotten a change oil outside the casa since tha car was still under warranty until my last service stop. Check ko the next time around.

BTW, ouir family driver's nephew worked sa Nissan Ortigas before. He was able to change the oil of our car before by just using the leftover oil that accumulated from the other cars that were being serviced.

konti lang pala langis ng 4ja1 compared to other diesels with the same displacement ano. c240 has about 7 liters of oil parang 4d56.

[boybi]

isa pang sinisisi ko eh yung manual, very inaccurate, pati tire pressures, di consistent sa tire info na nasa door jambs.

yung manual kasi based sa japanese specs and conditions. yung sticker na nakakabit sa door jambs dito na yan kinabit kaya yan ang dapat sundin.

[Jimbob]

amacatan, ang isa pang cause niyan is kulang ang oil mo, check mo oil level sa dipstick and refill if necessary.

[rsnald]

Jimbob, pakisabi naman sa akin kung nawala yung matagal na ilaw ng oil indicator. ganun din kasi dun sa revo namin e. pero hindi naman sobra ang langis nun. salamat! :D

2 possibilities
- mababa oil level
- sira or malapit nang masira yung oil pressure sensor.

yun lang naiisip ko. try mo i-fill up yung oil to the right level, if it still lights up, baka yung sensor na may defect. the sensor is some sort of switch that disengages when subjected to oil pressure inside the engine.

Papano ba ninyo tinitingnan yung oil dip stick para malaman mo na over o kullang yung oil? I was informed ng Isuzu Manila na after na ma start na yung engine, turn it off then check the dip stick. They are putting nearly 5 liters of oil sa Crosswind when they do the PMS on my wheels. If I check the dip stick sa umaga ay ito ay sobra, pero pag na start kuna yung engine and check the oil later on ay eto ay tama na.

[boybi]

nelany, pag umaga po kasi, lahat ng oil ay napupunta sa oil pan kaya sumosobra sa max level ng dipstick. dapat start muna ng few minutes yung engine para mai-"spread" ang oil sa lahat ng dapat malagyan ng oil (naguluhan ka ba? :?), and then OFF mo engine ng a few minutes. dun mo i-check sa dipstick ang level ng oil. dapat in-between sya ng MIN and MAX.

[nelany]

boybi, yun na nga ang ginagawa ko ngayon. Start for a few minutes then check yung dip stick. Eto yun recommendation ng Isuzu. Eto siguro ang dahilan kaya almost 5 liters ng oil ang nagagamit.

[amacatan]

Salamat sa mga sagot nyo Jimbob at Rsnald. Tingnan ko mamaya yung oil level ko :D
