Re: oil thread
i guess i just aint gettin it. ok, so ya gots issues with yer stick. so ya R&R it with what i'd supose is the right one. ya drain it empty. yer cap. is 6 includeing the filter. a half qt. filter, or a qt. filter? ya put in 5qt.s, + ya filled the filter for the 6. then added a qt. for 7. ya just sucked off some (how much?) and now yer a 1/2 qt. overfull. how much above full would that be on yer presumably proper new dipstick? i personaly could only guess that i'm a half qt. overfull on my stick. and it's oem best of my knowledge. what'd ya suck off the bottom of the pan. oil. ?. one question i don't know is weather fuel floats on oil, or does oil float on fuel. that might be a good question....why'd ya fill up the filter and not run it at winterization? tommays sugestest the method i use too. ya never ran it and got the oil through out the oil system.......once ya had it empty. put the proper amount in it. - a qt , start it. check level, put in another qt. to compensate for the filter. run it. check it. adj. minorly for proper level. mark yer level if not correct on the stick. if it's up from there. back to i'd be worried. fuel, water, whatever. i still think there aint no oil fairys........
personaly, i'd go back to square one. empty it. check for contaminets. if non found. fill it with the proper amount per the oem sevice manual. make sure the stick is marked proper. and go from there......
