lordleonusa Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 No replies from the great and the good?It's OK., I found the answer, in UK pints and converted to US pints.Oil is sold here in US Quarts (2 US pints), and in US Gallons.US Gallons/pints are 17% smaller than UK Gallons/pints.L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordleonusa Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 perhaps we should do a jeopardy type thing, where the answer comes before the question?But for now, here is the answer to my above question:TR6 Gearbox/manual Transmission with J-type overdrive = 2.6 pints (UK) equates to 3.04 pints (US).as this is what my car is fitted with...as well as the following:Vitesse Differential = 1 pint (UK) = 1.17 pints (US)Vitesse Mk.2 Engine = 8 pints (UK) = 9.36 pints (US)The reason that I am checking these figures is that I am ordering some oils suitable for my gearbox/differential and engine, and need to know the totals that I need to order, plus some for topping up.thanks againL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotoflex Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Will its theme be "What is the volume of hominy grits that you get into the Spitfire/GT6 3.89 differential?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordleonusa Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 that's interesting.It is my understanding that a US pint is 17% smaller than it's US counterpart?or is my maths screwed up?that wouldn't surprise me!L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
