I simplify the process by measuring 1.7 quarts (55 ounces) of oil to add to the engine. Using this method, I know I have the correct quantity of oil. Of course, I verify the oil level is correct after running the engine, and checking the oil level in the sight glass. |
Well, ok then. I'll be adding oil again tomorrow, but I believe I have around 1.5-1.7 in it now. If you dump all 55 ounces in, the oil will go above the fill line, correct?
