??? Im not sure if its the same but an rb26 is about 4.6 litres at minimum; most people put in 5 for extra protection around high speed bends.

2.5litres is waaaaay to low; did your oil light ever come on?

i just pour in a full bottle of castrol.....5ltr bottle.

and the dipstick comes up to the full mark. using that logic. u probs had 1/2 capacity

Yea my r33 has perfect oil level at 4 litres. Did an oil change in a mates R34 and had to use the full 5 litres and it just hit the minimum line on the dip stick... wierd.

that is weird, i usually put 4.5 - 5 litres, seems to fill her up nicely ( R34)

Im sure your not that silly, but was this before you filled the filter?

Im almost 100% positive that the OEM manual says that they take 4.5 litres.

Thats what i always put in mine and it doesnt go above the F mark. Even 5L (that i put in for track, maybe a little over) it didnt show a great increase on the stick either.

if youre not getting much oil out when you drain it, and the level wasnt reading low... you might have a sludged up engine...

Was after, filled with oil. Ran the car to fill up the filter. Then checked the level, and then added more oil and kept checking. Found it real strange.
