I know this sounds stupid, but, did you run the car for a few minutes after you changed the oil and recheck the oil level??
I have always put 5 quarts back in. |
5 quarts for me too! 3 is just odd... thats like Geo status.

Always do it when the oil is hot. Take it out for a good 20 mins and then change it right away. Thicker oil sticks to things like glue.

It usually takes 4.5 quarts for me.
Also, just a little tip, just loosen the oil filter until you can rock it back and fourth just slightly without oil running out the sides. Doing this will also NOT cause a mess. Also, change the oil just after a good run, maybe let it cool for about 20 min or so, changing the oil while the engine is hot allows all the thin, hot oil to drain properly. -Markus |
ok. Thanks for the replys. I check my oil daily and its full. Next time I will change the oil with the engine hotter.
It just seemed wierd not much came out. Thanks. '=' |
