I am doing oil change in my car putting car in the normal ramp at home.
My car capacity is 4.7 liter of engine oil but only 3.8 liter comes out and rest is always present inside engine .
Is this normal or am i doing something wrong ?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

 

Is that before you remove the oil filter and dump the 1qt of oil into your drained oil collector.?

 

Thank you for the response.
I mean...after removing all old oil and filter and when i try to put new oil....it only takes 3.8 liter all the time and oil reach to full mark.

 

How tall are your ramps and is the car sitting uphill before you place it on the jacks?

Sounds like maybe the nose of the car is too high relative to level ground.
​​​​WHat weight oil are you running?

 

Thank you again for the response.
My ramp is normal ramp may be 6 inch tall.
It is not uphill. it is always on flat land.

I have used same ramp and same location in my old toyota car with no issue in that one.

 

Gonna have to let the ion folks answer this one... Oil cooler? Final guess

 

Is this vehicle new to you?

 

OIl is always warm when i did oil change.
I appreciate your help. thank you

 

Nope. I am using from last 2 years and i did 6 time oil change. Always i pour 3.8 liter after oil change and it shows full mark.
Thank you for the reply.

 

Oil filter is a cartridge type that sits in a canister on top of the engine. After putting oil in, the filter canister will not fill until the engine is run for a couple of minutes. I have a 2004 2.2L and always put 5 quarts (4.7 liters) in, run the engine for a few minutes checking for leaks, then shut the engine off and check the oil level after a couple more minutes. Level is always good, maybe a fingernail above the full mark. I also use ramps to change oil, but check the oil when it is back on level ground.
