Comment on Is 0.3 quarts extra too mich oil in a car?
aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 5 months agoIf you also do this for the container you drain old oil into, you will be able to see if your car is starting to shown signs of oil consumption issues.
E.g. if you know you fill with 3.7qt, and you drain less than 3.7qt, you know you need to start checking the oil level every few fillups.

Generally a great idea. On this particular motor you’re more likely to find EXTRA volume as it has a known issue of gasoline flowing past the rings and actually increasing the volume of liquid in the crankcase.

There are rumors of a class action lawsuit.
