Last time I changed my oil I don't think all the oil drained out... (even though I let it drain for an hour!)

Anyway, my the oil level on the dipstick is a little over a half inch above the full mark.
Does this really matter?

My car consumes a fair amount of oil anyways after my header install....

Thanks for the advice!

I drove my car to work and back today (about 35 miles). Checked it when I got home, and no bubbles...

I just don't know if it is worth wasting the oil if it is a non-issue anyway... Mobile one ain't cheap!

I like to run .5 qt extra (6 qts total), I never run exactly 5.5 quarts. Our pcv systems are too inefficient and you can use a .5 quarts a few hours drag racing.

I always fill my car up with 6 quarts every oil change.

Autocrossers run up to 7 quarts in the f-body LS1s with no problems.

I have got to return your spring compressor. These types of compressors don't work on double springs.

The Sears one should work but I think I need two people.
The springs are really meaty...

Just tell me when you want a hand. I'll be more than happy to help.

I run 6 daily and 7qts during a weekend of road course duty. Never had a problem in 3 years of doing this

Mitchntx,

Just wondering if you drain a quart back out or if you leave it in there or what you do after your weekend of running the road courses...
