Oil cooler and pipes

[1agos]

I measured the oil removed from my year old PRM 150 gearbox and it was 1/2  pint more than recommended.

 

Is this extra to allow for the volume inside the  pipes and cooler or do the dipstick marks allow for this.?

 

Thanks for any advice

Almost certainly.

Fill to the mark, run engine, stop, check and top up to the mark. Done.

 

Been said before, the dipstick has 2 marks, consider the top mark is max with it screwed in, bottom mark is max with it not screwed in.

Saves time and screwing around!

That was quick, you have put my mind at rest that I wasn't overfilling.

Thanks
