ESS Twin-Screw II S/C Oil Change
 

Before reading: All numbers etc are in metric system.

So after 50000km I decided to change the TS oil. I went and bought 1L of Castrol TWS 10W60 oil and made my own suction device.

Hans@ESS told me the TS needs 120ml of 10W60 and the correct oil level should be around 10mm below the center shaft. So, I carefully measured exactly 120ml oil and placed them in a container.

Removed the 6mm allen oil plug from the TS and started to suck the old oil which was very dark compared with the fresh.

Now here's the problem. I only got 45ml out of the S/C. There's nothing else in there. The tube goes around 17cm in the TS, which according to it's specs, it's the bottom.

Insert tube all the way down and start sucking old oil

 

Guess which is the old oil
