Default Re: I discovered how to easily drain the oil cooler! (on my 91' at least)

Rich
I serviced the engine to nine quarts, the FSM says the engine requires about 10.5 with filter change and cooler drain, I started the car and the oil pressure came up at the same time period (actually a little faster, used Amsoil 10W-30 instead of 5W-30). Drove it around the block and I will check it tomorrow. Weird, but I believe I had less chain chatter using the 10W-30, or it was my imagination. I didn't like doing an oil change and the oil immediately turns dark when it mixes with those last two quarts.
