Does 4.5 litres ring any bells?

It's just a bit taller...crankcase area etc is the same...pump is the same...sump too...so no is the answer.

Re: JX AAZ conversion oil capicity......
Your welcome...don't be temped to add just a bit extra...higher oil level will cause oil to be whipped up by the crank for one and also could cause the engine to run away on its own oil more readily....that's not a good situation!
Also if I over fill mine by literally 1/4 of a liter it smokes like mad when pulling away cold untill the level drops again...due to the turbo I suspect.
