Changed Oil 1/2 quart overfull

[matuva]

up to 1995, part # F101(1/2"-20 UNF) fits your engine.
For late 1996 and on, then it's the F107 (12mm -1.5)

Did you mean up through 1995.....? If not, was there a drain just for the 1995?

I've got one on my Dodge, and they are really nice. Esp. if you send in oil samples.

Well it is a set location, but, the drain valve metal is known in some cases to contaminate oil samples as well as getting the bottom of the pan sludge in the sample issue. Best to sample from a vampire kit when you can.

I may stand corrected. Heath Diesel says to drain the oil, leave the filter, and add 6 quarts. Then remark the dipstick. The 7 quarts in the manual is assuming the oil cooler drains out. It doesn’t drain out. (Then change the filter…)

Rather the engine whips it with the crankshaft and out the CDR it goes.

I may have to do this next oil change, I am constantly chasing a 1/2 quart of oil that drips nowhere. Last I checked a years a go I had oily intake. I changed oil pans too. I bet I'm overfilling, always putting in 8 quarts, and just chasing the extra quart forever.

I guess it keeps the additives fresh though.

Might want to double check that one. He told me 5 and I got the long story on it over a couple of days and the number was repeated several times. My oil change this weekend will follow this track.
