How much oil in rear sump?

[Flash1966]

I changed my oil the other day and the rubber seal I had on the rear drain plug cracked. I didn't have an extra one so I just put it back on and hoped it would be tight enough.

Well, it wasn't and now it's dripping oil. So today I'm gonna pick up some more rubber seals and I guess I have to drain the rear sump to replace it. Any approximations as to how much oil the rear sump should have?

Well, u can measure it as you drain it...and add that amount back to the already DIRTY oil..

OR

Do a complete oil change.

I'll measure it if I have to but I was hoping to avoid that. And I just did the oil change Saturday, I'm not going to do a full change.

you may as well do the whole change since i think there is less than a quart in the front sump. it would cost you for one bottle of oil
hint, if there is a quick change oil place like jiffy lube or something nearby, just ask them for a washer for your drain plug, they usually will just give you one.
or you could get the washer, and pull the plug, quickly put it on and then put the plug back in..recheck the oil, and just top it off. in my experience, its about 1 quart between the add and full lines. unless it says otherwise on the dipstick.

Yeah I stopped by Autozone and picked up a new plug so I'm just gonna do the quick change thing and throw in some to top it off.
