Interesting Oil Change

[rodneym]

C'mon, patrickt.
This isn't really interesting or rocket surgury.

Yeah, I know, but I was tired of the Evan's Car thread, the "Would you trade your FE for a SB" thread, and the Taco Bell was closed for some reason.

Maybe we can start a new thread...

"Would you straight trade your SBF Cobra for Evan's Cobra, as long as it came with a Chimi Bopolito, three Chilirooti's and a Yumbo?"

Yes, I think that's a fair trade. Now, tell the truth, did you think I'd have an extra half quart difference on a cold engine?

half quart is a lot of oil in an FE.

where did it go?

Of course you checked the dip stick when it was hot and cold. Any difference in the reading?

There was a half quart more oil in the pan from having sat for four months than there is right after you have run the car for a while. You clearly get more oil out on a change when the car's been sitting for a few months.
