okay i have the answer.... okay but not really... whenever oil is hot i get way more out .. and it happened again this weekend.
I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic this weekend and temp hit 200F , which is very rare for me.
As soon as I got it in the garage i grabbed my pans and started draining .. the reason i do this is the stats are wide open , so nothing is getting trapped in the cooler.
When i refilled i put in 11.7 Litres.
There is absolutely no way in hell I am getting that much out with stats closed trapping oil in the cooler .. Even if it is just " warm" stats will begin to close when you park it and start to get ready for oil change.. do it hot hot hot is my motto. But as Ivan states, be careful and wear thick insulated ringer gloves or something similar.
I was supposed to change it at 290 k .. but took advantage of the opportunity ...
ended up changing at 289,911.. which i thought was a good sign .. lol ..
