How much oil does your 86 take..?

[mswhong]

Anyone noticing that this car takes a LOT of oil?

I went out and bought two containers (2.5L each) of 5w-30 castrol edge and to my surprise, it was reading a little low on the dipstick..I just filled up the engine with 5L of 5w-30 castrol edge recently and i had to go out and buy another batch to top it off.

Have I over-filled the engine? I'm a little worried as this may lead to my headers/exhaust being filled with oil as a i drive around

It takes 5.4L to refill it.
It's in the service book.

According to BRZ book:
Without filter 5.2L
With filter 5.4 L

According to BRZ book:
Without filter 5.5 qt. (5.2 L, 4.6 Imp. qt.)
With filter 5.8 qt. (5.5 L, 4.8 Imp. qt.)

Yes, with the filter.
You would always change the filter at the same time so I don't know why they would even give the other volume?
The 5.4L should be correct for the new spec smaller filter[160]
