Hello Guys,


The last 0.5L of the used oil doesnt bother me.
I'll probably clock less than 8k km a year since i not working now and i change it at least once a year.

Regarding the Oil Capacity, i believe there is some ambiguity on the Manuals.

If you follow the Owner Manual (both Toy/Subi), it state:
"to wait five minutes or more for the oil to return to the oil pan before checking the oil level."
If you top-up to Full on hot engine,
That means by the next morning, the dipstick will be around 120-130%.
(after dealer servicing, i always get this reading on the next morning)

I suppose this scenario will account for the 5.4L in the Spec.


But if you follow the BRZ Shop Service Manual (which i do), it states:

"To prevent overfilling of engine oil, do not add oil above “F” mark when the engine is cold."
In this case, i believe you will only have ~5.0-5.2L in your engine.


For the Fumoto valve,
can your arm reach it without jacking up ?
My head cannot clear the chassis.




Best Rgds
