Thought I’d try an experiment while changing my cold oil today.
After draining the oil to where it was just dripping I removed the filter and put it on the oil catch reservoir to drain also, then slid the reservoir to the side.
I placed a clear tumbler with ounce markers under the drain hole and have collected almost 3 ounces of dripping oil in 30 minutes
Will check back at 1 hour mark to see the level then.
For those who have drained the oil and replaced the drain bolt all within 5 minutes and then added 4 qtrs or 4 qts plus 3:2 ounces you may still have 3 to 5 ounces of old oil in the sump. That may be why some sight windows are reporting levels above the full mark.
Will post a picture of small tumbler with final reading later tonight.
After 1.5 hours I had just a tad over 4 ounces of drip oil
