help guys how many quarters of oil to use 4 or 5????
very true 1.25 is not enough need more quarters!
this is straight out of the 2003 evo8 manual
10. ENGINE OIL (CHANGE) M1001002600326
1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the
temperature of the coolant reaches 80°C (176°F) to 90°C
(194°F).
WARNING
Use care as oil could be hot.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
4. Install a new drain plug gasket so that it faces in the
direction shown in the illustration, and then tighten the drain
plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39 ± 5 N⋅m (29 ± 3 ft-lb)
CAUTION
• Do not use conventional petroleum based motor oil.
Using conventional motor oil may cause engine or tur-
bocharger damage.
• Do not used "blends" of conventional oil and synthetic
oil.
5. Refill the specified quantity of oil.
• Specified Engine Oil: Fully synthetic engine oils
displaying ILSAC GF-3 certification symbol ("Star-
burst" symbol) or conforming to the API classifica-
tion SL or SL/CF
• Total quantity (Includes volume inside oil filter and
oil cooler): 5.1 dm3 (5.4 quarts) NOTE: SAE 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil can be used to
improve engine start ability in very cold weather areas
where the lowest atmospheric temperature is below −23°C
(−10°F).
6. Install the engine oil filler cap.
7. Start the engine and run it at idle for a few minutes.
8. Stop the engine and check to ensure that the engine oil level
is within the level range indicated on the dip stick.
but like some have already said, add 4 and just keep checking the level on the dipstick. Add more until its right. you probably wont be able to get all of the oil removed from the cooler, lines, etc. so there will still be residual oil in the system. 4 quarts and some change should be fine.
