Sorry, being thick and asking silly questions.....
I haven't had the oil changed since may, due to low mileage and looks clean.
I have a 94WRX and Mobil 1 Motorsport oil.
The reason tht I am asking pretty well exactly how much oil I will need is because despite help from knowledgable people, my oil level is impossible to tell on my dipstick, just can't tell exactly where the oil is. If I am to believe the dipstick, then she hasn't burned a drop of oil since march!
I have 4 litres of new oil for her and a scooby filter. Do I need the whole bottle, a little bit more, or a little bit less???
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Nick.

You'll need about 4.5 litres of it.
And yes it can be a pain to read the dipstick, try to get it out without rotating it, this seems to make things easier...for me at least.

I put 4.5 litres in mine too. This brings it to midway between the upper and lower levels. If you put any more in you can have problems with the wastegate solenoid getting contaminated. My car is a MY95 WRX.
Make sure you fill the new oil filter before you install it.
