Just completed my oil change and the level was reading a bit off afterwards. I wanted to get as much old oil out as possible so I let it drain for a good 45 minutes while I had lunch and took the time to syringe out the oil that pools in the filter housing bottom. I filled it with 5.7 litres as per the manual, started it up for a bit, then shut it off and let it sit for about 5 mins. When I checked the level it was only showing about half way up the hash marks. I added another 100ml and that brought it up to about 1/4” below the top of the hashes.
I did also spill a little bit when I was filling it up. Do you think that combined with the extra steps of getting the old oil out could account for 5.8L only showing just under full? Anybody have some experience with this?
