ENGINE OIL CHECKING AND REFILLING
Your RXC is fitted with a dry-sump lubrication
system. When the car has been switched off for a
period of time, the oil will drain back into the
engine. Therefore, any oil level checks must be
carried out after a short period of running to
ensure an accurate reading.
To check the oil level, start the engine and idle for
approximately one minute, ensuring that the low oil
pressure warning light extinguishes.
After one minute, remove the oil catch tank filler
cap and insert the dipstick provided. The level
should be above the minimum mark on the
dispstick when oil is cold and between the two
marks when the oil is warm (approx. 60°C). If it
is below this level, add oil to bring up to the
correct level.
DO NOT fill to the top mark when cold as oil
expands as it warms and the system will overflow.
For quantities, please refer to the recommended
lubricants page.
GEARBOX OIL CHECKING AND REFILLING
For quantities, please refer to the recommended
lubricants page.
NOTE: although the gearbox may be empty, oil
will still sit within the oil cooler and pipework.
Ensure that the gearbox is drained completely
from the gearbox bottom bung and refilled with
new oil, rather then attempting to ‘top-up’ the oil
level in the gearbox.
BODYWORK QUICK-RELEASE CATCHES
The composite bodywork is secured with a
number of quick-release catches. From time-
to-time, inspect the catches to ensure that the
locking springs are still tight and effective.
