    M20B25 Oil Capacity After Cooler Delete

    I deleted my oil cooler over the weekend to make way for an intercooler. For reasons I cannot understand, a previous owner on this car removed the dip stick tube and plugged it in the block, so I don’t have a good way to check oil level. For those with an M20B25 without an oil cooler, how much are you filling your cars?

    I put in 5 quarts in my non cooler m20. You might want to see if you can put a dipstick tube back on it. I would.

      I put 5 liters (5.28 quarts) in my oil-cooled m20. I don't think the oil cooler drains much during an oil change.

      I would also see about putting a dipstick back in your car.
