EJ20 legacy motor oil capacity?

Post by inzomniac »

Any foreign members with an owners manual or something to that accord tell me how much oil my ej20 should be taking, it's out of a 1st gen legacy...

actaully if anyone has a link to an owners manual or service manual for this motor it'd be greatly appreciated too.

hmmm.. I put in just under 5 and I'm waaaay over... there was a pretty nice dent in the sump but I don't think that could take away that much capacity.

I have a page from a 94 WRX service manual that lists 3.5 liters as the "lower level" and 4.5 liters as the "upper level."

But the WRX engine has an oil cooler -- does your EJ20 have one?

They say 4.5L in the manual.

You can get away with 4L though (about 3/4 level on the dip stick).

I put nearly 5L on my turbo and it just above the top mark of the stick!
So put 4.5L and run the engine and check the mark then fill until it meet the mark!
