I do a full 4 quarts. You have to take into account the oil filter and temperature. A little bit does burn off between changes. I would rather have a small amount of oil than too little of oil.

I like to take one tenth of each of the 4 quart bottles and hire strippers to rub it all over me in my driveway. Its a little bit of extra work, but I no longer worry about overfilling before track days.

good thoughts except motor oil on the skin for long periods of time is harmful to your health.

like your train of thought though.

Mike, I have done this to every car I have had. Even my 87 Conquest TSi. And that car had about 120k miles on it.

When is the fall meet? It was fun last year even in the cold.
