I checked the owner's manual, but I couldn't find anything specific about the normal oil range.

For a '99 TA, would any oil level past the arrow point indicate too much oil? Shouldn't the proper oil level be within the fiber grooves right before the arrow?

Thank you.

its best to just fill it too the full mark where the arrow is! i fill it a bit over the arrow tho just to be safe

check cold, and fill to top of cross hatches. below is >1 qt low and will cause oil starvation. 4.5 qts or less if below

always good to check the oil man eespecailly if you like to go fast around corners . them gs pull the oil around and too litlle will not cycle in the engine . some folks put in a drysump to prevent this .

Oh. So it's OK to have the oil a little over the arrowhead? If so, how far up does it have to go to let you know that there's too much oil?

i put in 6 quarts when i do an oil change. I belive 5.5 is what our car takes?

The car manual i have say after driving let car sit for 30 minutes then check oil.

Just remember overfilling can cause as much damage as underfilling.

^ Well remember some people don't know where to run their oil, without having to worry about engine damage. As well as many people don't know whether to check their oil hot or cold. When i change my oil i go with 5.5qts, and sometimes alittle bit more.

A lot of autoX guys run 6 qts. because it tends to slosh in the pan real bad while racing.
