....when you change your oil?
Well, it seems like a lot of it! I drained my ARX infused Havoline yesterday in order to begin the rinsing phase of the treat. I removed the plug and the filter.....lowered the driver's side.....raised the passenger side (to tilt the engine on the side for better drain) and came inside the house for a break. After 45 mins to 1 hr, I replaced the plug, installed my pre-filled oil filter and installed the new oil. The F-Body LS1 takes 5.5 qts to bring the level to the very top of the crosshatched area, but I always put 6 qts, bringing the level at least 1/2 inch higher than the crosshatch. Well, just as always, I put 6 whole qts and the level just made it to the top of the crosshatch, which tells me up to a half quart of the old oil always remains in pan. I'm guessing the slow, but lenghty drain got rid of most of that used up oil.
whatcha think?
