Quarts of oil?

[yoda33073]

Has anyone done an oil change yet? How many quarts of oil does the RHO take? Conflicting answers out there. Thanks

Oil change & gear lube underfilled?

Prepping for my 1st oil change, so tried to find an RHO oil change video on YouTube. None. But, a few on TRX. Interesting, the Hellcat has an oil cooler that also has a drain plug. Wondering about the RHO…anyone know if the engine in RHO has a separate oil cooler with its own drain? Also...

Excellent info there by @RHOfan

When I drained, I got almost 7.5 quarts out. Refilling, I only put 7 quarts back. I figured a little under-filled is better than overfilled. When I ran the process to update the oil level gage, it showed 1 bar below Max. Per the manual, this is “OK”.

Since 4 bars below max requires adding a quart of oil, 1 bar is likely 1/4 quart below max fill. I’m ok with that. Way better than overfilling.
