After Oil Change can you Turn Engine Over To Prime it Without Starting ?

[zeroptzero]

On my Subaru BRZ we could push the throttle to the floor ahead of hitting the start button, and it would allow the engine to prime after an oil change. Also helpful when coming out of long storage. The engine would not start until you lifted off the throttle, so you could crank the engine over without starting. Can this be done on the Z ?

Not sure, but as long as the filter was filled with oil before it was installed there really isn't anything to prime. All you effectively did was drain the oil out of the pan and refill it.

It is the same as your brz and my wrx I had before my z press the gas while starting and it won’t fire

The flooded start procedure can be used to crank the engine without starting it and is described in the owner's manual. I use it when I change my oil and filter. Basically, hold the accelerator to the floor and hit the start button. The manual says wait 5 or 6 seconds and hit the start button again to stop the cranking. However, mine stopped on its own after 5 seconds.

I don't know if one cycle is enough but that's all I use.

If the oil change is done properly is this even necessary?

No. It's typically only needed when the engine has been apart.

Great thank you. That is good to know, I like the feature, particularly after winter storage season on first start up.

Thank you, I did not see it in the manual but thanks for the info on this. I think it is helpful to use in some situations. Always good to know, thanks
