How many bottles of engine oil do you add?

[hans_fh]

I just got 4 bottles of Mobil 1 engine oill. I am just wondering if the 4 are enough for Yaris? Thanks!

How big are the bottles?? Quarts, pints, or gallons. You will need 4 quarts of oil, which is one gallon.

3.9 Qt's with filter. Which normally works out too 2.5 bottles of Red Stripe for the grease monkey/me turning the wrench.:thumbsup:

This is just a guess, but you are not originally from Utah? :biggrin:

Your English is fine, it's your mind-boggling use of milliliters that clued us in.

haha, anyway, are 4 Liters oil enough for Yaris? The oil bar is not always clear.

Anyone uses Mobil 1?

Mobil1 is very popular. I use Amsoil myself which is a premium synthetic lubricant in both the engine and transmission.

blacksan, Thanks! I changed the engine oil myself today and I guess I probably overfilled the oil. Not so sure because the oil bar is not as clear as my Jetta. I do follow the instructions: running the engine for 2 minutes and then turn it off. 2 minutes later, pull out the bar to clean it and pull it back. Then get the bar out again and check the bar.

There is oil everywhere on the bar... just filled nearly 4000 ml oil. It that too much?

I am actually helping two Chinese friends build schools for homeless children throughout the US. They are really nice guys. We are negotiating with Utah State Uni for the places and the resources. Three of us got three Yaris! Haha.

That is fantastic! If you ever make it to the East Coast and more specifically Virginia it would be my pleasure to have you visit. My home could be your Gästezimmer for a few days.

Thanks Blacksan! I would let you know if I go to East Coast:)

I generally fill up the crank case just before the oils starts to run out the the valve cover....one can never have too much oil in their motor...why stop at 4 quarts? Just fill her up and rest assured your engine is well protected...I think the last time I changed the oil it took 9 or 10 quarts...

^^^ :laughabove:

Here is what I do and it works quite well.

Buy 4 quarts of oil.

Pour in 3.5 quarts. I use 1 of the first 3 bottles to measure out a half a quart, and keep the other half.

Drive it. Let it sit on a level surface and check it again. My oil level is always perfect to the top of the dipstick fill line. If it needs any more, add it in small increments.

Works perfectly every time.

You better be joking :barf:

None!

My first oil change I did myself I put in 3.7 quarts of 0-30 amsoil. And it registered over the top bar on the fill bar on the oil stick. So I emptied some. I now just put in 3.5 quarts and it winds up being just about right with the fill bar on the oil stick. Thats with changing the oil filter as well.
