ive just changed the oil and filter this weekend gone, and used about 4.8L and each change since has been roughly the same. turbolight all the way, good price and no issues!

best to put say 3.5 to 4L to start with, start it up then let it sit and measure. top up and repeat

i've just changed the oil in the car (including oil filter) and i've put approx 4.8 litres in already and its still sitting at the L on the dipstick.. i've let the car idle for a bit then rechecked and still the same thing.. can it be possible that i need more than 5litres of oil? i'm getting a bit scared now... got a r33gts25t s2 which has done 150k.. could it be more oil for high km car?

Stupid question, did you put the sump plug back on? It's possible you have the wrong dipstick for you car, or the previous owner did some sort of sump modification to hold more oil. Just keep filling till it registers

wow funny numbers flying around.

it is not best to overfill, over filling leads to excess pressure, and busted seals.

anywhere between High and low is good, thats what the marks are for.

different filters hold different amounts of oil too

    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.   
    • Hi. Yeah i think that DIS-008 should be ok too but i rather asked. The R8 coils are "sadly" no go for me cuz every solution is for forward plenum. The coils are too tall and one of the(4/5 DK) would not fit under stock J-pipe. And being this NA RB20 i dont even know where to get some forward plenum.(and of course i would need other stuff like custom AFM/ECU etc) and that is kinda non sense for NA without boost. I just looking for solutions for my case 🙂  I try look into those Yaris/Corolla ones.  
    • Damn it, no, I topped up before I got to yours I really should look at Costco locations more when I'm out and about burning through fuel
    • Did you hit the one 5 minutes down the road from my place before heading back south? 😛
