oil quantity in filter--EJ25


 

If I start with fresh oil and filter and the oil
is up to (say) the top mark, and I start the
engine, idle, shutoff, and then check the oil,
how much will it be down? That is, how much oil
goes into a fresh filter? Or am I missing something
and asking the wrong question.

Thanks,
Richard
(2005 EJ25 in my Syncro Westy)


 

Trick question?
The oil level will go down by the amount of oil that remains in your
engine block and heads plus the amount of oil that remains in your oil
filter. The level will go up as the oil returns from those areas to
the oil drip pan.

Try it and see!
Filters are not all the same size, but I generally figure about half a quart.

Not trick. Maybe dumb. Larry suggests about 1/2 qt and Rob say
you have to check every car.

The oil in the block and heads doesn't count, since it is there
when you drain the oil. It is just the amount that goes into the
new filter that I'm curious about. The filter is pretty small.

Guess I'll measure and see.

Thanks,
Richard


 

Hey Richard, I'd imagine there's about a cup of oil or less in the OEM
Subaru oil filter, 8 ounces up here. Its a bit of an issue for me, in that
I think a little more capacity would really help oil temps.

Does anybody know of a bigger filter that fits the 2.5 Subaru engine?

Thanks, Jake

Not dumb at all Richard. But probably something you'd best measure
for yourself.

And as to other comments about bigger oil filters.....
I have purchased a larger oil filter but ran into problems with
clearance and the smallcar carrier. Maybe they've changed since i
purchased mine (carrier) which was about 2007 or so but make sure you
measure before you dump your oil and old filter!!!

all the best,
brent

Jake:
I installed an aftermarket oil cooler and my 2.2 now uses a Wix 51381 filter, which is significantly larger than the OEM filter.

Hey Jake

I run the Fram ThoughGuard TG3593A on my VDubarus 2001 EJ25 because of the size diff'

Subi OEM 2.625"D x 2.375"H = 12.8533CubicIns = 0.4451Pints

Fram TG3593A 3.000"D x 3.000"H = 21.2058CubicIns = 0.7344Pints

Keep in mind that there are some gutts to a filter that use up some of that available vol'

Also, my EJ25 is mounted on a 2009Vintage SmallCar Mount & there is no "fit" issue

Thanks guys!

Adding an oil cooler would add the extra capacity I'm looking for and is
probably where I'll end up. I looked up the Wix 51381 and it is usefully
bigger. While hunting that filter I came across the thread pitch and gasket
size for the Wix Subie filter, so I'm armed and dangerous!

Although the Tough Guard is better, by far, than all the other Frams that
Honeywell (Canada) makes, it's still inferior in materials and end cap
material and can strength, to what Tokyo Roki of Japan makes, in the
black H6 3.0 and 3.6 filters. If all you are looking for is the ability to
carry 1/4 to 1/2 quart more oil, then I suppose a larger filter is a good
thing. But if in doing that you are sacrificing good filtering, good
drainback valving, and good pressure and bypass function, then
you might want to reconsider. Why not just add either an oil cooler
OR remote filter set up, which would allow almost 2 more quarts
of oil in the system? I've looked at the product that Amsoil offers
for that and have just not sprung for the $200+ it would cost to
do it, and finding a place on the frame to mount it conveniently.

The black Tokyo Roki filters for 3.0 and 3.6 will fit/work on the 2.5.
It worked on my 2.2. Also, if larger is what you are after, the WIX 51356
is a good filter and probably the way to go.

Some filters have a bypass so pitch and gasket are not the only parameters.

Thanks, Tom

Hey Bob, I wouldn't use Fram if you paid me...

Not my product, just to show what is out there,

Subaru Dry Sump Setup Kit
PART #: 20004463PRICE: $3,599.00
QTY:


The Cosworth Dry Sump Setup Kit for the Subaru EJ series engine is a must for race and performance applications. Dry sump oiling systems offer an unparalleled level of safety and reliability compared to factory Wet Sump systems. Complete crankcase oil scavenging reduces excessive and residual oil that can cause blow-by and power loss. A dry sump also offers more consistent oil pressure to the engine, improved scavenging, and increased ring seal due to greater pan vacuum. The Cosworth Dry Sump System for the Subaru EJ20/EJ25 replaces the original oil sump with a machined from solid, low profile alloy pan with twin scavenge ports, internal baffling and o-ring sealing. A two stage scavenge pump driven by a HTD belt, mounted to a heavy duty bracket evacuates the oil from the engine.

Although the Tough Guard is better, by far, than all the other Frams that
Honeywell (Canada) makes, it's still inferior in materials and end cap
material and can strength, to what Tokyo Roki of Japan makes, in the
black H6 3.0 and 3.6 filters. If all you are looking for is the ability to
carry 1/4 to 1/2 quart more oil, then I suppose a larger filter is a good
thing. But if in doing that you are sacrificing good filtering, good
drainback valving, and good pressure and bypass function, then
you might want to reconsider. Why not just add either an oil cooler
OR remote filter set up, which would allow almost 2 more quarts
of oil in the system? I've looked at the product that Amsoil offers
for that and have just not sprung for the $200+ it would cost to
do it, and finding a place on the frame to mount it conveniently.

Larger filter will not fit in Syncro with skid plate afaik
Oil cooler has to be removed too. Has anyone noticed any problem with lack of stock oil cooler?

Adding an oil cooler would add the extra capacity I'm looking for and is
probably where I'll end up. I looked up the Wix 51381 and it is usefully
bigger. While hunting that filter I came across the thread pitch and gasket
size for the Wix Subie filter, so I'm armed and dangerous!

Not trick. Maybe dumb. Larry suggests about 1/2 qt and Rob say
you have to check every car.

The oil in the block and heads doesn't count, since it is there
when you drain the oil. It is just the amount that goes into the
new filter that I'm curious about. The filter is pretty small.

Guess I'll measure and see.

I relocated my oil cooler and filter like this:

;action=display;threadid=47

My oil capacity is about 4.75 quarts with this setup. Been working great since 2005!

Hey Jake

Thanks much for the list ~ with that info I decided to switch back to Wix / NAPA Gold. Before switching to the Fram TG3593A I had been using a NAPA Gold 1365. So I am now going with NAPA Gold 1334 & it fits great. I wanted to go with the 1344 but with my setup having a "SandwitchPlate" that would have made the OilFilter the lowest item in the backend & I was uncomfortable with that.
Now to the VeryInteresting part ~ The OilPressure never gets as high & never gets as low as it did with the Fram ~ High Pressure is 8-10PSI lower than with Fram (Reved-Hot or Cold or Idle-Cold) ~ Low Pressure is about 8-10PSI Higher than with Fram (Hot @ Idle) ~ I'm quite OK with that but a bit puzzled.

Hey Dean,

I'm glad my research helped you out. Your oil pressure observations are
interesting. What are your values now for cold idle, hot idle and 4000 rpm
hot?
