****, i usually just put in 4 and a half... 3 is kinda odd. Did you jack your car up funny like when you drained your oil? My friend did that with his 240... jacked the car up on the opposite side of his drain plug (so his drain plug is lower than the rest of his car) when i saw what he was doing we got the car level and a bunch more came out.

I have always got 5 in there, you changed the filter too?
I also crack open the filler cap while the oil is draining
and will punch a hole in the oil filter so that drains out
a bit before making a mess on the engine

I waited about 4 hours after I parked the car to remove the oil.
how long did you guys wait?
