in the book in halfords it says to fill with 3.5ltr but in the subaru book it says 4ltr? but in the scooby book it says Ive got a 60ltr fuel tank so im not taking the the book serious???

I think ill risk it and buy the other ltr at the end of the day its my only transport so need to get there some how.

now ive gone the other way!!!!

just done mine... read the book.. 4 liters ?? shoulndt it be litres.... which eqautes ?? (drunk) to approx 8.8 pints ie just over a gallon..

now if my maths is shot .. a quart is two pints 3.5 quarts is then 7 pints... see where im going...

ive just put 4 'liters' in and am way over the full marker ..

have i put 1.8 pints (just under a litre) too much in

and thinking should i syphon some out

bloody metric and they said its universal

so what is the correct figure to put in
