Whu you interested back side look on frot L or F between Low and Full its ok.

I have a 1998 legacy. I noticed this oil level reading issue and it seemed to fluctuate drastically from various locations with sloped streets. The issue is that it’s a boxer engine. Boxer engines are flat engines and they will be wider than standard engines. This means that the oil will be more spread out in the engine block and the oil will shift tremendously from one side of the engine to the other and this causes a very deceptive oil reading on the stick. To get an accurate oil reading you must be on a level surface which all gas stations have to have a level surface where you pump the gas. After you fill your tank with gas, check your oil. Ever since I have checked my oil at the gas pump I have not had this oil reading fluctuation.

I have a 2009 Impreza NA and I get false reading all the time. Like it’s full, but dipstick show it’s low. Then after I drive with the car (usually), the dipstick gove me that full reading. Any issues like that?

This reel is for atf fluid. Not engine oil. Stop confusing people with comments pertaining to the engine oil.Thank you

You go with the lower one

PSA: check your oil with engine temp either completely cold or completely hot (never just "warm") and be sure you are on a level surface. If the engine is up to full operating temp (middle of the gauge) allow 2 minutes for oil to run back into the drain pan before measuring. Hold the dipstick with the finger notch pointing toward the front bumper (the way it should sit normally) and QUICKLY insert and remove the dipstick. Read only the side with the F and L etched into it. The Subaru tech manual says "a cold engine should read at the F circle (or line) and a hot engine should be above the F but below the notch".

If you think this is hard, try checking and refilling the automatic after a service. You will be pulling your hair out !

This is how…ruclips.net/video/hRWS7-t-I5s/видео.htmlsi=uGo8_7DG_OELW-S3

This is because the dipstick tube enters the oil pan on EJ series motors at about 30 degrees. If you point that dipstick perpendicular to level, then measure the angle between the oil level on the front of the dipstick to the oil level on the back, it'll be about 30 degrees. Magic

Your stupid, It is not hard to unplug and plug in charger, you should never have it plugged in then try to put in batteries.

How much?

I went on Amazon to try to find the motor I need but not sure which one I need can you help point me in the right direction please.

How much and where are you located

there prices are too high and not a great selection ive got a rastar ferrari and new a new gearbox because my plastic gear stripped and new metal gears are $600 looking for 24v very high top speed so... there is one one on amazon but looking

I just watched the genuine Subaru check oil video and it says to check both sides of your dipstick and use the lower reading

Thank you.

Hey.. Still trying to get through to you.

Charger still working until now ? 2024

I had similar customer support after buying motors and brake reduction things where they caught on fire when activated. They blamed me and were rude about it too. Never again

7 years later and still going and going… Thank you was about to buy the same kit I had just watched there whole video on motors listening to that annoying voice and I was fed up seeing his ugly feet popping in from time to time thought it was his hand damn hand feet🤚🏻 that was disrespectful . I think he was just holding his nose and talking. 🤔

2017 Subaru outback I just changed oil & filter and put 5 qts Not the 5.1 It recommended and check the dipstick. And it seemed way too full and I drained the oil very well and let it sit. It didn't seem like they'd had this problem before when I previously changed the oil. But this time it's showing that it's too full and I know it didn't go crazy. And put too much oil in it cause all I had was the 5 qt jug. IDK 🤔

They have awful people/customer service.

Waffle waffle waffle

why is yours so much more popular than mine 😭 (video filmed by me on May 31)

Starlink?

What in the world? this might be the rip in the FABRIC OF SPACE AND TIME OR THE BACKROOMS INFECTING THE REAL WORLD

Wow

Honda Accord is a pain to check the oil level. I can check it 4 times and get 2 different readings. Its ridiculous. I've heard other car owners say same thing. My old Accord was so easy always read accurately

8 years later this video is still helping people out. Thanks for helping me get my baby running!

Use sand paper sand the tip side ways, it will make oil stick to it better.

@stickman-1.. I know this is many years later but I appreciate the video. If you still have the gear boxes and want to give them away I would like to try them.

EPIKKK

WOW

The same on my STI 2019

have a 21 Outback XT, same thing, grives me crazy, so when I change Oil it gets 4.8 Quarts only, and try not to check it for 3k mikes

My Boxer "flat six" 3.6R engine burns quite a bit of oil--BUT, can you see the good side of it? I, for one, check it often and top it off, often, so it is always full and all the time getting fresh oil. THAT is why my oil never gets jet black, it is always being changed if you think about it. No, I'm not saying that is good, just that side of it, is good.

2009 outback 58k miles. I have the same problem. I dont feel good running and engine that might be low on oil while the dipstick shows full on one side and half on the other

Old video but I'm definitely having this problem as well

Same thing for me on 17 brz lool

To my knowledge, this is a feature of all Subarus. I’ve driven 91 Legacy thru 2013 Impreza, and everything in between. Currently have an 07 Impreza and 08 Outback XT, both do it. If you put the dipstick in with the finger hole facing you, you read the left side of it where the letters are (the front) and that is your reading.

I have a 2015 Outback and yesterday I did a left U turn on a back road and didn’t realize there was a sharp drop where the asphalt meets the dirt and my two right tires dropped out and I heard a thump. I was worried it would throw my wheels out of alignment or off balance. Wheels seem to be fine, but the orange oil light and “!” lit up on my dashboard. I pulled over and didn’t see anything leaking from bottom of car and when I checked the dipstick the oil went up a few inches so that seems ok. I drove home fine. Today when I started up my Outback the orange oil light did not light up until 5 min into my driving. And every time I turn ignition and drive it takes a few minutes to turn on. A couple questions: 1) For those of you who have had your oil warning ⚠️ light come on and actually have a leak, is it on immediately when you start up your car or is there always a delay for you? 2) If my dipstick is showing oil and I don’t see a leak, is it possible that the thump from driving off the asphalt could have just randomly triggered the warning light? Thanks in advance for any feedback 🙏🏼

Thanks for the video. But what level is it supposed to go up to? I see two small holes about 2 inches from the tip of the dipstick. Are you supposed to see an oil line in that area or further up where it has that twist in the dipstick?

Thank you!!

Mine is screwed also.

Sul motore Subaru Diesel, l' intervallo tra i due fori corrisponde ad 1 litro e 1/2. La quantità che mi ha consumato in un anno, e si è illuminata la spia gialla. Non mi era mai successo in 4 anni, ma ad agosto 2023 ha fatto temperature di 43 gradi e voglio sperare che il consumo di olio sia dovuto solo al caldo estivo

You are not alone!!! Kind of screwy design, isn't it?
