Trying to do oil change at 1500mi mark

[Dave G ST]

They make a similar one. I got the EWK 6.5L Manual pump. Use the smaller of the 2 tubes supplied. With filter changed also, of course, added 5 1/4 quarts .

I changed ours to full synthetic at 10k miles.
Replaced the OEM drain plug with Ronin, same as on my Mustang.

Everything was easy except pouring in the new oil! The car sits up high and the filler neck is near the engine center. I am tall, but still had to stand on a stool, which kept sliding back on our racedeck plastic flooring. So I spilled some oil below the filler neck. I even use a screw-on bellows spout (from Amsoil), but it did not help as much as with the Mustang. So I switched to using a funnel for the 2nd gallon jug.

That's odd. I add 6qts exactly with every oil change using the extractor method. Have done 3 and each time the same.

Used the HF oil extracter. Pulled 6 qts of oil out of the dip stick tube. Changed the filter. Had to bend over one time. Dropped my damn rag. I am a believer.

Okay, sounds good. I was thinking 5 1/2 quarts was a full change. I will see what amount I can pull out at next change.

I never measure what i pull out. After 10k miles you might be almost a quart low and that's normal. If you are adding much less than 6 qts fill, I'd double or triple check to make sure you're at the full line on your dipstick. That's all that I was saying.
