Minn-Kota 10-13-2003, 09:01 PM Did my second oil change this past weekend and again I see only 9qts of oil added and the dipstick shows full. I know the manual says 10, but I'm only getting 9 in and don't want to overfill. Drove it some, checked again, and still shows full. Anyone else notice this or should I just put the last quart in? CS-Dmax 10-13-2003, 09:04 PM Did you change the filter too? (I know, prorably stupid question...but had to ask anyway). How about was it parked pointing down hill. Due to the location of the drain if it is on a downward slope it can leave some oil in the pan. John Smitty 10-13-2003, 09:21 PM Mine always takes 10 plus a splash to put it to the full mark. I pull the front of the truck onto ramps, leave the rear down, open the fumoto, and let her drain. Mackin 10-13-2003, 09:23 PM If you didn't drain it hot or drained it nose down (as mentioned )you probably left a quart inside .... No biggie but try to get it HOT next time and get a Fumoto (sp ?) valve for that burn free feel ....

Maybe the front end wasn't quite up enough. Probably pull it up on some 4x4's or something next time during the drain.
