Algorithm

RUR'U'R'FRF'

8 moves. Execute with the solved layers on the bottom and the last layer on top.

Setup / recognition

Apply this scramble to a solved cube to reach the OLL 8 case so you can practise it on demand:

z2FR'F'RURU'R'

Category: Small L Shapes. This is one of the cases you recognise by the shape the top stickers form before the algorithm.

About this case

OLL 8 (Small L 2) is an OLL case — the orientation step of CFOP. Small L shape with bar on left. Once the last layer is fully oriented, the top face shows a single colour and you move on to PLL to permute the pieces into place.
