Re: Tips / how to change oil?
Sorry, I was quoting the FSM -engine crankcase component capacity 9.6qts with oil filter change.
Now that I think of it, the car was on jack stands for other repairs and I let drain overnight, can't exactly remember how much I put back in. Last edited by vilant; 05-07-2013 at 07:53 PM. Reason: forgot |

Re: Tips / how to change oil?
Paul - I agree on filling the filter, but how do you do that and not dump it all over since the filter mounts "hole down"?? Am I missing something here?
I also looked in my dealer manual and that thing said 8.6 qts... And it provides little to no info on how to do it either - so thats why I'm asking you guys.... |

Re: Tips / how to change oil?
I just did an oil change last week and got the Ruby ready for her trip. I personally wait overnight to minimize the mess. There is no difference from changing the oil in the Beast to any other car. If you use a quality filter like the Bosch 3401 it has an anti-drain back valve so you should not have a big mess.
