Default <1/2oz a big deal on P1SC

I was changing the oil on my P1SC last night and accidentally spilled some on the ground by getting the oil bottle in position (Could these things be any more difficult to get to on an f-body! ) Anyways, I am certain that it was less than 1/2 an ounce because I went and got a measuring cup and put 1/2 oz of water in it then went and poured it out next to the spot on the ground where the SC oil was and the water puddle was bigger than the oil puddle. So should I not be driving it any until I can order more oil from procharger, or am I okay to drive it around as is?

You have to remember that water has a different viscosity than oil. The same amount of water as oil WILL make a larger puddle because its viscosity is different, so you could have spilt around a 1/2 ou or more.

I know, but they looked to be about the same thickness too???

Total capacity is 6 oz. So even if it was 1/2oz then I'd only be running about 92% capacity...

Take is from the source^^^^you will be fine.

I have found what works well is to slip a piece or rubber hose on the end of the bottle, makes it easy to fill with no mess.
