OK, smartarses .....
Whats the sump capacity of a Classic MY2000??
Last thing I want to do is overfill it like I did with the gearbox oil!!
Oil Filter has been soaking in an air-tight container for the last 2 weeks, I have added little and often to it ........ so it should be ready soon!!

Do you think we should bill him for "consultants fees".
I'm sure he doesn't come cheap in his field.
Anyway don't forget to oil that ole sealing ring on the filter.
That filter too, gotta get it tight enough but don't overtighten.

Put in no more than 6 litres, and when you can see it down the oil filler spout, stop.
No need for the **** oil filling levels / oil filter filling protocol / crank sensor off to spin over to gain oil pressure with no load procedure, just do as you feel comfortable with.
Obviously just a suggestion, no liabilities if your non subaru serviced motor dies.

So Pete, are you going to disconnect the crank sensor, or are you going to chance it?

Right, so I fill until it comes over the dipstick hole?
Turps in the engine and run it to strip the old oil away sounds a superb idea - I'll do that, take it for a full blast run to get it nice and hot so it all drains out well.
Tomorrows the day!! Ooooooo I'm all a shaking, I've done loads of services myself before - but never on such a special, sensitive, tender car as the Impreza! Scared stiff!!

Well, I've just gone and done it ............. an Oil change on a Subaru Impreza Turbo ..
WITHOUT the **** Procedure!!
No soaking the filter overnight,
No Crank Sensor removal
No spark plug removal
No checking of Cocklink lights
and NO Big-Ends destroyed ............ I'm a bit worried as it was simple, just the same as on any other car!! I have clearly forgotten something
All the Old Women and ***** on here can't be wrong can they?? Surely I haven't just done it without the ***** recommended step-by-step guide .... without it blowing up!!
To all the Old Boring **** Geeks ......... get a life and stop scaring the Newcomers!!

WHY HAVE YOU HAD OIL FILTER IN A CONTAINER FOR 2 WEEKS ?????
WHAT PURPOSE DOES THIS SERVE ???
ALL YOU NEED TOO DO IS GET 4.5LTS OF OIL AND GET THE OLD OIL WARM
DROP THE OIL AND FILTER FILL UP THE FILTER WITH NEW OIL THIS SHOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES PUT THE REMAINING OIL FROM YOUR 4.5LTS INTO THE ENGINE AND START UP LET IT TICK OVER FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND SWITCH OFF CHECK FOR LEAKS AND SHUT BONNET CHECK OIL LEVEL IN THE MORNING BEFORE STARTING TOO GET A TRUE READING
