I would expect that crankshaft aeration of the oil in the pan (another potential problem as you correctly point out) would NOT HAPPEN unless the oil level is above the top of the hash marks. |

I was more so nervous that all of the old oil didnt drain and that I might overfill it with the combined new oil but I took the risk and added the additional 5qts and checked again on level ground and everything seems good.

I know this thread is a little old, but can 10.5 qts hurt the engine. I just changed mine and put almost .5 a qt in the oil filter. Damn thing kept drinking it up when I filled it to the top. So I put 9.5 qts in the filler. I started it and drove it off my ramps and back into my garage on a level surface. I checked the dipstick and it was low on the x's. So I added the last bit of the 10 qts. I then drove it around a bit. I came home and checked the dip stick and a puff of smoke came out of the dipstick hole. But the stick reads the oil at the top of the x's. But I'm worried that once it cools down, I'll be over the x's. Any suggestions?

I'm an idiot.. I meant to write I opened number 1 bottle and filled the oil filter, using .5qts. I then put 10 whole qts in the filler. So I used the 10 and half of 11. I could have sworn I read somewhere the oil capacity was more 10.6. So that's what was going through my head at the time. So I did put 10.5 in. I'm just waiting for it to cool down and check the level again.

You need to let everything run down from the upper internals to get an accurate measurement before you check it

My pf64 filter took about half a quart of oil too. I very seriously doubt that an extra half-quart in a 10 quart system is going to do any harm. Many people deliberately overfill the oil by 1 quart when tracking their car with no ill effects.

Thank you very much for this. I agree and I think I have another issue with my trans or diff and the puff of smoke when I went to check the level was very ODD. But even my wife asked, have you ever checked the level right after a drive? And I'm not sure, but still--puff of smoke, really car. Sheesh I take care of Candy and she already had a broken water pump 4 months after I bought her new. Sheeesh. LOL
