Thread: LT230T Capacity (or lack thereof) Issue

If it's to the filler hole on level ground that's it.
There is a type of sump in the nose under the diff lock dogs that would hold a bit of oil so I wouldn't worry .

Thanks for the advice Philip. I had hoped there was another reservoir somewhere as it was a little concerning

The only thing way I have seen an LT230 take 2.8 litres is if it has an extended sump

Thanks djam1. It would appear that my referencing the Haynes workshop manual has uncovered an error in printing.

I've now managed to find another few sources/tutorials which are noting a capacity of 2.2L, but that you can't put much more than 2L in when re-filling (due to the previously mentioned 'sump'). Comforting to now know.

I have seen the extended sumps and considered, as the cost isn't over the top. Have you had much experience with them djam1?

Cheers

I have one on a Defender not sure it is necessary but it does give a little additional oil capacity.
They were developed by Ray Wood as additional cooling and capacity for the Roamerdrive Overdrive
Makes it easier to take the transfer case out as it makes the bottom of the box flatter
