Holden Combo 1996 Problems
No car is perfect, but we've gathered everything relating to the Holden Combo 1996 reliability here to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
What is the oil capacity in a 1996 Holden Combo for a full refill?
The engine in your Combo has a code-name C14NZ (for future reference). This 1.4-litre four-cylinder unit has an engine oil capacity of 3.5 litres which includes the little extra oil required when you’re changing the oil filter as well as the engine oil.
For the record, changing the filter every time you change the oil is best practice. While some mechanics reckon a filter change is only required every second oil change, the vast majority of tradespeople recommend a filter change with every oil change. Why put clean oil through a dirty filter, is the basic argument.
If you’re planning to do an oil change yourself, make sure you buy a four or even five-litre container of oil as this will allow you to carry out the oil change as well as having some oil left over for top-ups between services.
Holden Combo loses power
Are you confident that the odometer reading is correct; that it hasn't done a lot more than the 190,000 km it's showing. Check the compression, the engine could simply be worn-out.
