what to use?
does the viscosity affect the measuring in anyway?( i got a U in my physics O level *oh well* )
would 3 in 1 light oil be ok?
im not so keen on water beacause of rust appearing

thanks

3 in 1 will be fine. For example if you measure a litre of 20/50 and a litre of 3 in 1 they're still the same volume regardless of viscocity, or you could use parrafin etc

Personally I'd use some thing with a thinner viscosity as 20/50 leaves a very thick film inside the syringe which will effect your measurements, then if you're that serious you wouldn't be using a syringe.

A burette is only £8-10 on eBay and will make light work of the task.

i could get a large number of medical syringes with the measurement in mls on if they'd be any good for the task chaps! i'll have to check the size of the tip so you can have good control of drwing or squirting the oil or other liquid!

SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

the Search-section on this forum is blummin superb & simple to use, unlike some other forums, without the search-section & the help of this bunch of chaps on here i'll never be able to !!!Start the day with a 998cc turbo!!! :) i'm getting closer though!

LOL ! i didn't actually mean use 20/50, i was just meaning a volume is a volume, regardless of oil thickness. *smiley*
As said by others syringes are ideal, that's what i use.

ATF = Automatic Transmission Fluid

Unless Alex is talking about something else.

atf doesnt smell foul, normal gear oil does kinda a mix between vinegar and sweat.

trans fluid would be good bit thicker than parafin, just go to the vets and get a 35 mm syringe for a couple of quid.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas
