A+ for the DYI and the banana costume.
As for your photographer's focusing skills...

Dude...5 qts. is WAY too much. The car should only take 3.5-3.8 with a filter change. Overfilling with oil can do SERIOUS DAMAGE to your engine!
Good DIY otherwise! |

dry fill is no oil in the engine after a rebuild.......not an oil change with a filter. Also, a yaris is not a Honda. Do me a favor and take a look at the oil level on the dipstick and tell me how far above the high mark it is.

I think it's 12 quarts before you can see the oil from the cap so why stop at 5?

I thought about this too as I was reading, but then I realized there's still quite a crapload of leftover old oil in the car, what difference is a fingerdip of new/old oil going to make?

No difference at all. I might also add put some of that 3.8 qts. in the new filter to absorb into the media so that your getting full circulation right after start up. Is this necessary?....maybe not in this day and age but "old biker maint. tip" and I've done it this way for years.

old oil has metal particles in it that can cause seal failure on your oil filter. |

the "serious damage" is really just oil foaming.. because there's more oil in the sump, it's "sloshed" more by the crankshaft which keeps it foamy.. which means air bubbles are trying to lubricate the REST of your engine.. not very effective lubrication and very poor cooling properties

I have always overfilled when prepping for a trackday since I did not run a baffled oil pan. This was on Hondas only but for the yaris I just do 4qts.

I'm not mad at the guy...I just don't want him to make a simple mistake and possible spin a main or rod bearing on a pretty much new engine in a great looking sedan.
06silveryaris, this last weekend I ran my oil level about halfway between full and low (about 3.2 qts. with filter at the change) on the dipstick, and never saw any fluctuation in oil pressure. Running too much oil, especially on the track, can lead to a dangerous loss of the oil's cooling and lubricating abilitys due to foaming (Thanks for elaborating Tomago). |

3 and a 1/2 quarts ....
will bring it to the FULL mark . Believe me I know , we have 2 YARIS and I have done 6 oil changes . We also had an '07 PRIUS ( 1.5 ltr. engine ) and that took 3 and 1/2 quarts to fill . Close to 1/2 a quart remains in the engine and pan from previous fill . It's better to be a bit under .
