The same statement can be used for any moron that tosses old gasoline, paint or anything else toxic.You're the one that added "properly disposed". Plenty of "empty" (or almost empty) oil bottles or jugs get thrown in people's trash cans, then goes into landfills.
Even more fun when they vehemently deny breathing issues as a result of burning those products.The same statement can be used for any moron that tosses old gasoline, paint or anything else toxic.
To ease worry, just let it drain an extra 10 min. That should do it.I service cars that take 4.8 etc. I just dump in the 5. No problems over the years.
Excellent point. I'll bet DIY folks, repair shops, quick lubes, etc put in what the book says and still check the dipstick (and adjust if necessary), so yeah, the dipstick is what you go by in the end. My manual says my car takes 5-1/8 quarts but I dump in 5 quarts, even use a "larger" filter, and the dipstick still reads closer to the full mark.Capacities listed in owner's manuals are guidelines. Nearly all manuals default to the dipstick for reading and correcting the level when doing service.
Unless you own a Hyundai...the dipstick is what you go by in the end
2017 camry here with the 2.5. specs for my car is 4.6 quarts. Put it on small ramps and used 4.75 quarts. Put it on same ramps going up the hill in my driveway and got a full 5 quarts in or should I say out. The higher you elevate the front end the more oil drains out, makes perfect sense when you look at the oil pan and drain bolt location. The 4.6 quarts my manual says is when the car is level on a 4 point lift at a shop.I have the same 2.5 Toyota Rav4 - 2019 flavor. Top bubble on my dipstick is exactly 4.65 quarts - yes after its been run for a while - even though the spec is 4.8 quarts. Not sure why - factory defect dipstick, just not that precise, or?
The dealer has overfilled mine slightly - per the dipstick - several times when they do it for "free" with Toyotacare platinum, which is "port installed" for SE Toyota.
4.5 liters is 4.755 quarts. Round up = 4.8 quarts.I am wondering why an engineer decided lets make it 4.8 instead of just 5 ?
