How much oil do people add when doing a oil change with filter.
I believe the manual states 3.96 qts with filter.
I found adding 3 quarts brings it up to the middle of the bull’s-eyes.
Running the engine to get warm and recheck and it is still full add about 1/4 qt more and a tad over.
This is what I did:
- Warm engine -Drained oil (level surface) out of plug and remove filter cover.
- Oil drained for 15 mins before re-installing filter and plugs
- The amount of oil recovered was about just shy of 2.75qt.
I can not believe there is qt of oil left in the engine?
Any opinions would be appreciated.

PS how dangerous is it to overfill this engine?
