Routine Maintenance

Engine Oil Dipstick

D
The dipstick on your TVR T350 is attached to the cap of the oil tank. (D). Due to the
nature of the Speed Six's design, the engine will normally use a small amount of
oil. We therefore recommend that the oil level is checked on a daily basis. The oil
should always be checked on level ground with the engine switched off. To remove,
unscrew the cap (D) in an anti clockwise direction. Pull the dipstick out and wipe
clean to ensure a true reading. Re-insert the dipstick and remove once again. The
level of oil should read between the min and max marks on the dipstick. Top up with
TVR recommended oil (see page 57) if required.
Please note: The oil level should only be checked at operating temperature,
immediately after stopping the vehicle. Over filling may cause oil wastage.
Running the car with an oil level below the minimum mark could result in
considerable damage to the engine. It is important that, once the oil has been
checked, the dipstick is securely replaced to avoid oil leakage.
For track Days the oil level should be topped up to the Max mark on the dipstick
and an eye should be kept on your oil pressure which should not fall below 35 psi
@ 2000rpm.
