And open the rear first, until you hear a gulping sound. I just pulled the cap straight up the first time and oil leaked into the engine. Fortunately had a rag at hand, and only a few drops fell onto the serpentine belt, but took me an hour removing parts and being able to clean it up perfectly.

This second time just put exactly 9.5L, and right on the top mark, where I always have it. By the way, 8.8L is with a quickie oil change; no way that'd register full if you drained the filter housing completely. I suck it bone dry with a fluid extractor. You need either that or a 60ml syringe. Good day.

OK. I'll keep all that in mind next time. Thanks.
