IS 1450 CC OF OIL TO MUCH OR NOT ENOUGH FOR A OIL CHANGE, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT RUNNIG SHELL 15-40 OIL? IS IT TO THICK OR THIN?
THANKS

Are you refering to engine oil or the transmission oil? Engine oil takes a quart and a half exactly with full filter and spars drained completely. The transmission takes a little less than a quart. Use synthetic oil in the motor side at least, as the regular oils get overheated way too quick.

I would use mobil one or equivalent and about 1.4-1.5 quarts I believe about 1450-1550 cc, you should see increased bearing wear from regular oil

1.5 quarts would be 1420 cc's

And for a recommendation for oil to run, after break-in, or whenever you switch to high quality oil....Amsoil has some great products.
