I changed the oil and oil filter in my 2000 GT and now its reading above full on the dipstick. I'm aware of the 5 qt vs 6 qt debate so my plan was to add 5 qts and add another half quart if needed. However, after adding just 5 quarts its reading overfull.
Before the oil change, I checked the dipstick and it was right at the min mark. When I drained out the old oil it came out to only 3 quarts (including the oil that came out of the filter).
I had the front wheels on ramps so is it possible that 1 or 2 quarts weren't able to drain out? I want to drain out a little oil until the level is below the max mark but it doesn't seem right to drain oil after putting only 5 quarts in.
For anyone that uses ramps to change their oil, do you have problems with some of the oil not draining out?
