I believe with a filter change, we're supposed to put in 3.9 quarts of oil. Many just put in the full 4 quarts and call it good.
I handled that extra 10th in a different way.
As it's hard to get the oil poured into the fill hole, I bought an aluminum funnel with a long flexible spout.
I had it in as close to an upright position as I could. As I was pouring the jug of Rotella, the funnel moved outward on me,
dumping the extra 10th onto my driveway. I poured the rest in, ran the engine for a couple minutes and it came out right to the mark
on the dipstick. Problem solved.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
