Had to test out the 4 banger today...[emoji54]
Did the dipstick change it's mind after the engine ran for a few minutes then settled back into the pan? ;)I listened to the experts and put the 8th quart of oil in.
Actually it did, showed exactly midway between the full and add lines. Leslson learned.Did the dipstick change it's mind after the engine ran for a few minutes then settled back into the pan? ;)
I would guess before running the car the filter was emptyActually it did, showed exactly midway between the full and add lines. Leslson learned.
Wish I had one!!!put it in the garage!
Having a "dealer maintained" car can be a boon to resale value, so I always try to have all of my oil changes and maintenance done by a Ford dealer, although I've occasionally done Jiffy Lube just because sometimes I don't have time to wait around 2 hours for them to do an oil change at the dealer.
I've changed my own oil many many many times, but now that I have a job that pays decent money, it's easier to spend the fifty bucks or whatever to have somebody do it than it is to crawl underneath a car and get myself all dirty.
