Hi all,

I've burned through 2 tanks of fuel now in my LJ78.

First tank averaged 24.8mpg with skinny road tyres on.
Second tank averaged 21.8mpg with fat 32" Cooper STT tyres on. Is this what I should be expecting from a 2L-TE engine running on normal roads with the bigger tyres?

The oil level seems to have dropped in the last 1200km too, is this normal for this car?

What grade of oil should I buy, and how much of it does the 2L-TE engine take if I did a full oil change?

Many thanks,

Will
 
Hey, I don't know how much oil it "Normally" will consume but I just did an oil change on my 2LT-E and specifications are for 5L with a new filter. I did 5 and noticed the oil was a little on the low side on the dip stick so I added another litre and it read perfectly full. hope this helps mate

Also, I know everyone is picky on what brand of oil they think is best but from what ive researched you should be using a 10w-30 diesel oil.
