Maybe it is 6 quarts with a factory filter, and the extra 1/4-1/2 quart people are adding is due to the oil which sticks to the inside of the bottles and to the funnel?
Thomas. | I warm my oil up, if it's been in the cold garage, by placing it indoors for a few hours. Then, when I pour it into the motor, I let it sit upsidedown in the funnel for a minute or so.
I agree with what you're saying about the oil's tendency to adhere (<-- how 'bout that one, p0ng0rs?) to the inside walls of the container. But, I can't imagine I'm wasting more than a tablespoon or two at most.
I am, however, going to scout out some AC Delco oil filters from now on. The internet is so influential, isn't it?
