I just did my first oil change on my 2002 Rodeo, the book said I needed 6.5ltrs of oil with a filter, which I put in, I am starting to think the book is a misprint, oil was almost doulbe what it should be on the dip stick.. I let a liter out and it is still way up on the dip stick, any thoughts people?

my 4jb1-t takes 4ltrs. Best advice is start at 4ltrs and top as you need as you can see they used multiple sized sumps on this engine.

Most 4jb1-t dont like it if you fill them right to full either...
there is a picture of this under the bonnet of some
i filled mine to full and the oil came out the pressure side of the intake :-( made a bit of a mess
now i fill it to about 10mm below the full dot
thank you

thanks for those that replied, I will keep an eye on how much I am putting in to get an "almost full" reading on the dipstick
