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

Subject: [Healeys] Jag Oil Question--NO HEALEY CONTENT
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.
bs
