The Southern Coriolis force, of course. When the sun goes across the sky from right to left, there's not much you can count on except basic physics, right? What else could it be?[...]how does the oil stay in when the folks down under are upside down? [...]
Took off both braces on pp1 2020 no issues getting to dipstick. 10quarts just gets me below top markDammit. Just when I thought I had it all figured out. But how does the oil stay in when the folks down under are upside down? Ahhhh now I follow. Just hold the dipstick upside down and look at it in a mirror.
Bro, everyone knows (or so I thought) you canāt check it cold. The oil level is like, a solid 2mm lower on the stick when itās cold than when hot. So what if you check it cold and thought it was low? And then you added 6 ounces to bring the level back up. And now when it gets hot again, now youāre waaaaaaayyyy over filled. Now you have to worry about the crank sloshing around in the oil, or fighting that gusher of a drain plug to get the 6 ounces back out. But you do you bro.
Funny how when I change the oil and put the amount specified in the manual that it shows exactly full when it is cold.
Imagine that
If refilling after an oil change, the amount put it should be less than stated capacity due to the amount of oil that doesn't drain out. I would think that a 'full' mark on a batch of room temp oil would expand ~5% (half quart) after warming thus leading to an overfilled engine. YMMV...
You might be correct, except that one must leave your 5% in to account for the ~5% (minimum) reduction in quantity caused by what gets wiped off the dipstick when you remove and wipe it clean 3,000 times in serch of a readable, repeatable, dependable reading. They offset each other!
