Title: Oil capacity
Post by: Bullit on February 24, 2018, 16:40
What is the oil capacity of a 1zz ? My car is an import so i don't have a hand book and online advice seems to vary.

My car seems to want to take about 4.5 litres ?? so i'm worried i've put too much in.

Try doing a search this has been covered plenty of times.
For some reason 3.7 litres comes to mind but I can't be sure.

Cheers for your help, i measure what i took out and it was roughly 3.5 litres so i've had to take some out  :(

I've had a few cars and this has to be the worst dip stick i've ever encountered.
