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
