What is the ACTUAL amount of oil the FRS/BRZ needs?

Or are they just new to cars? Not sure why this is even a thread.

I think this car has brought out a lot of people who didn't grow up reading/watching/wrenching on cars. Which was part of the idea.

Part of the problem is the younger guys wanting everything spoon fed to them vs doing some research.

$50 change for me.

Ah, but the $15 was what he charged me to install the oil and filter I provided. I had to pick up something for my wife's birthday and my mechanic helped me out. All said and done, I definitely had more than $50 into the change. Interesting video, though - exactly why I don't take my vehicles to those kind of places any more. Took me a long time to find a guy I trust - he did a bunch of work on my old Santa Fe that I wasn't comfortable doing (mostly suspension stuff).

Watch and be amazed.

why not simply insert the tube inside the dipstick tube?

Extractor tube might have OD bigger than ID of the dipstick tube, might get caught in the bend, extractor tube that can fit inside dipstick tube might have ID so small that pumping it out will take ages.
