The owner's manual states that you need 4.1 U.S. quarts for an oil and filter change, and 5.2 U.S. quarts "after disassembly". This means that there must be 1.1 quarts of oil remaining somewhere (oil cooler and oil cooler lines?). Any suggestions on how to drain this remaining 1.1 quarts of used engine oil without disassembling my engine?
Thank you.
Practically speaking, you don't. There are little nooks and crannies inside an engine where small amounts of oil will collect and won't drain to the crankcase.
Your best bet is to change the oil when it's hot. Hot oil is thinner and flows better.
