Checked the CX-5 cold in the morning on a 1.5 degree incline I am slightly under the full mark (1/8 inch) with 5.6 qts. in it.
I know it is 1.5 degrees, because my `16 Suburban has an inclinometer, that teeters between 1-2 degrees in this parking space in my driveway.
Yesterday, engine warm on level surface, 1/8 inch above fill mark. All is good, just caught me by surprise as the manual was speccing 4.8. Amsoil's site states:
So I guess there is a wide variation as to what drains out. I guess the ramps for the drain makes a big difference for how much drains out!
I feel like I should have been an engineer. Very few people aside from members of this site understand my technical thoughts and struggles.
Thanks!
Have a great holiday!
