I just changed my oil. I usually buy a 5 qt jug and two quart jugs for the change. Since it only takes 6.5 quarts i usually take the extra 1/2 quart and pour it thru the fill tube once its all drained out to help clean out any "debris" sitting in the bottom of the pan.
Well after a complete drain i emptied my oil change thing into the now empty 5 quart jug. It barely filled it 3/4 full. Is that of any concern that i only drained about 4-4 1/2 quarts out of a 6.5 quart capacity? I know there is never a full 6.5 quarts that gets drained, but having that little get drained out kinda concerns me. Where did the oil go? I let it sit for a good 20 min to drain so i'm sure i got every last drop. No sign of an oil leak. I think the last oil change was done at the dealer and perhaps they didnt put a full 6.5 quarts in?
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a big difference in the amount drained compared to full capacity?
