Thanks,

i think it's 5 litres..... thats what i put in mine anyways

4.2L when you do filter - otherwise 4L.

Don't put 5L in!!!

[Bluprint]

Ditto, 4.2 litres

Yep. Always judge by the dipstick, not the theoretical capacity. Never be tempted to add more left over oil if it shows H on the dipstick.

Last oil change I did took about 7 litres! Eventually found 2 neat little slits in the rubber seal of the filter, which explained why the oil was gushing out.

far out - i had to clean up about 2L of oil once - worst thing!!!

Thats bad about the filter seal!!!

You must not be draining enough oil out or something. I have done hundreds of oil changes on Rb25s and its always very close to 5L.

I normally put in 4 litres. Let the engine run for like 5 minutes. Then i check the dip stick and add whats needed. And yes, once i had to put in 5 litres.

same i usually measure what comes out and put that amount back in, car doesn't leak oil so don't need to top up

Ok, I am about to do my first oil change (doing it myself) on friday... i am sick of paying someone to do something i know i can do myself... Just wondering if there are any little things to watch out for when I do it??

Cheers!!

DO NOT over tighten (torque) sump plug bolt when you put it back in. Oli filters too do not have to be too tight either, so long as it doesn't leak

If you can, always use one of the filters (Drift/K&N probably others too) with the nut on the back 'cause you'll thank yourself for it the next time you change the oil

[Muff]

i use penrite 10w 50 but i used to use motoul turbolight in my rb25

and if ur changing the filter as well it should take 4.8L without the filter 4.2L ..

if in dout look in the manual

i always put the whole 5L in, cause im lazy and some guys say its better to overfill to avoid oil starvation.
