I always like to have my cars topped off, since carrying a bottle of oil in the trunk is ridiculous IMO  .
Oh, and yes, you need to remove oil cap carefully. Remember intake cam gear shoots oil right at the cap; that's why if gasket is not lubed on 'old' caps, it can bunch up when rotated to lock it, create a gap, and make a royal mess, so don't forget that step folks  . Take care gang. |
I raised the car equally front & rear. When you say you raised the rear, do you mean the car was tilted forward?
I also sucked the oil in the filter housing. I will see what the car says tomorrow, and maybe get another bottle and keep adding up in 0.25liter steps...
