bowjam Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 95 Impreza 5 sp. coupe 1.8L Would you know how much oil it takes for a EJ18 ? I put in 4 qts and it looks ok on the oil stick. I know some of the subie engines take >4qts. What kind of socket is used to replace the spark plugs? I've got four 13/16 sockets and none of them will fit in the plug hole. Boy was I surprised.. I also have a 98 legacy with 2.2L and an 01 Legacy with a 2.5L all three engines take the same oil filter.. That's amazing to me. Subaru has got their act together in more than one way.. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Its a 5/8 spark plug socket. Hardware store should have a socket for you. No need for a wobble on the socket if you ask me. 4.2-4.5 quarts with filter change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have a 5/8 deep socket.. Just had not idea it wasn't a standard size plug. I have a box of BKR6E-11. Assumed they were the replacement plug. Any Idea where I can download a Owner manual ? The "My Subaru" site only goes back to 1997.. Thanks for the info.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 you'll really want a 5/8 sparkplug socket with the rubber ring or magnet built in, and not just a deep socket. The plugs sit a little ways down in the hole and pulling it out will not be easy without a sparkplug socket. Also make sure the compression washer comes out with it. The correct plug is BKR6E-11.

I really feel dumb now.. I had just replaced plugs in a Toyota truck prior to the Impreza and didn't remember the Subie having the smaller 5/8". I just looked at the BkR6E-11 and realized my brain was out to lunch. Sorry for the CRS. I will try to do better.. Thanks for the wake up call..
