2. from my 115 days I used to drain mine and there just was not much there.

It is not a bad thing conceptually but in reality, again, I would not risk failure of my fabrication.


Again, I pull the lower hose mount to oil cooler well after I have pulled sump plug and I always get well over 1 quart of dirty oil. I maintain an oil level between upper and lower marks on dipstick - try it yourself, you will see more oil than you think drain over two hours!
