It ran out REAL slow for such a big drain hole. I let it drain for a few hours then checked with the dip stick after to make sure that it was clean just in case it was reading oil on the dipper tray and not in the pan. No idea why, when filling it went from "L" to pretty much "F" with one litre but when I was topping it up it before only went from "L" to 1/4 of the way to "F"???. Something still seems goofy I just don't know what.
Even cold the cold the oil should have come out pretty fast.
Was this the first time you drained the oil?
Have you had the pan off this engine yet to check for sludge build up?
