Just wonderin the average amount of quarts you guys use when you change out your oil and filters.... A couple days ago I changed my oil with 5w-30 Castrol Syntec and put a new honda OEM oil filter and it seemed as if i had to add about 5.4 quarts of oil to get the level up to the top hole on my oil dipstick... We should be using only about 5 quarts to get this level up... But this time i used a little more... Maybe my 5qt. container jipped me?? I dunno... Anyone else have to add more than 5qt's just to get the oil level up to par!? Just seemed like this oil change i had to add an excessive amount of oil just to get that damn level up....
"5.80 (6.1US qt)for engine overhaul
4.74 (5.0US qt) for engine including filter"
the honda filter holds ALOT less oil than the amsoil or mobile 1 filters, so 5.8 is about right with a much bigger filter, and filling it to alittle over halfway between the dots
I also put the whole front end of jackstands and let it drip for about an hour while I eat lunch or something too

I think it'd be more beneficial if you drain what you can for 10-15 minutes on jacks, then pour in maybe 1/4 quart of new oil, then let that drain for 5 or so minutes. But I'm not saying I don't agree with your method - I'm all about taking food/beer breaks! :thumbsup:
i put 5qt and its fine, also around what millage does your oil get dirty i just went over the 3000 mark with Q horsepower and that shit still looks clean!!
1/20 makes up for the oil thats still stuck in the bottle along the sides.lol.....really....
