[The Shape]

I'm not being a smart arse, but this information is in your owners manual in your glovebox.

[WolfWings]

A 1-gallon jug perfectly fills mine, 3.5qt I think is without the filter included, the docs I've found say 3.9qt, and I'm using a very slightly oversized filter to boot which explains the extra 0.1qt capacity.

+1 - There is some VERY useful stuff in it...if your busy....keep it by the toilet and read little parts at a time. LOL :smile:

Three quarts is all it takes for my dipstick to read halfway between the dots.
This is with a napa gold filter.

If you are suggesting the elimination of all posts that can be answered in the owners manual or be looked up on a Google workshop manual search the forum will become unpopulated..

so you're saying you're driving around a quart low all the time ?

[Havana]

The Yaris holds a full quart less than my motorcycle. I still haven't gotten use to that.

Tamago, he's not running a quart low....he's running in the sweet spot (same place I run my oil level). If you never check your oil between changes, then right to "F" is good, but that extra 3/4 quart is pretty much useless as far as performance is concerned.
A little less oil keeps windage to a minimum. I've run this level at the track and have never seen any fluctuations in oil pres. or temp that were not directly related to RPM (in fact, I really have to beat on this thing to get an oil temp above 105 C, which is only seen at the end of a 25 min. session).

under hard cornering, having that extra quart of oil would be a smart thing. no need to cause oil starvation mid-corner.

but hey, if running a quart low is the "sweet spot" then... do it?

If you are suggesting the elimination of all posts that can be answered in the owners manual or be looked up on a Google workshop manual search the forum will become unpopulated.. Too many dumb questions - but what do you expect form Sheeplike toyota owners? Yes it is a dumb question but inadvertently a smart one too. Most have found the car to swallow only 3.5Q not what is stated in the manual which is a DRY fill. We never get ALL the oil out. Cant do it. SO 3.5 is good. BTW I wouldnt run it betwen the dots - this HOT puppy needs to be near full. so just under the dot.

Hey jambo,

I already said I was not being a smart arse. But it was a simple question that could have easily been answered by walking to the car, opening the passenger door, glove box and looking in the owners manual.

Picture this.

You ask that question.

Then you may have to wait 30 mins next to the pc for an answer, when the car you need to put the oil in is waiting outside and within that car is the answer anyone who can read find in 2 minutes or less.

Don't you think that would be a better option than posting in the first place?

[The Shape]

Well that would have been a good idea, except that this is my wife's car and my wife couldn't fit all her junk (makeup, hairbrush ect.) in the glove box with the manual in there so she took it out and it has been misplaced.

[JulieVan]

yea, i bought my car used and it had no manual.

Its a simple question being asked.
Simple answer: 3.5 quarts

A legitimate reason and I believe it was a good question to ask seeing how many people did not use up to 3.9 quarts like the manual says. I thought I was the only crazy one not having to use as much as the manual says. Good to know I am on the same boat as everyone else. :wink:

[texkid]

keep it by the toilet and read little parts at a time. LOL :smile:

I knew I wasn't the only one!! Awesome! By the third session, I already knew the tire psi, tranny oil type & quantity, and where that stupid spare tire jack was located in the car.






.......how much you want to bet there is some new Yaris owner reading this and now wondering, "hey, where is that jack anyway?"

[nemelek]

I always check the oil level after a change during the first gas fill up.

[The Shape]

I just poured 4 quarts in and called it good.

[timothyone]

Not trying to be a smart ass, but I wasn't in my car next to my manual so I Googled "how many quarts..." and found this thread. I'm very glad someone asked the question. I'm sure many more will find this thread when they look for this answer when they're away from their manual.

[IllusionX]

Huh.. Nobody go by the dip stick? When I buy oil by the quart or gallon jugs then it's not had. It goes all in. But when they freaking sell by 5.5L jugs, I just pour in until the dip stick shows "full". Anyone?

[andulong]

I agree with IllusionX,

Just pour it in until it reads full or whatever level you prefer. Sometimes that might be 3.5 qts or 3.9 qts.

[Exiwolfman]

3.5 L or 3.69841 quarts lol

[IllusionX]

3.5 L or 3.69841 quarts lol


Weird, I always went by 4qt or 3.78L. Haha

[Ranger SVO]

I have 3.5 quarts in mine, just a hair below the full mark.

That's just fine but in my experience a little low is better than a little high. I blew the oil pressure sender out when I mistakenly added four quarts to the engine during an oil change. I thought "so what" but then the sender blew and cost me $76 + of course it did it on a rainy day!

[IllusionX]

I'll look through the user manual, I'm pretty sure it says 4qt. Will report back

[IllusionX]

Found it. It really is 3.7qt of oil. 54005

[The Limo 2]

It really is 3.7 Litres of oil with new filter. 3.9 US quarts or 3.3 Imp quarts with new filter.
Roy

[IllusionX]

Yes. Sorry misread. 3.7L or 3.9qt.

[grampi]

so you're saying you're driving around a quart low all the time ?

I just changed the oil and filter on my daughters '09 liftback and it took 3.5 qts to fill it to the top dot on the dipstick...4 qts would've overfilled it...
