Actually, it was at "1.5" when idling in park. It was when it was idling in drive at full temperature at 500 RPMs is when it was around .1 / .2 mark, but that was only once, after that, it was at the .3, which others have said before is normal. This is a 20 year old car, with 263K, so I do not expect it to be perfect, but since it was at "3" at 1500 RPMS, I am sure it is OK. I will know more tomorrow how the new oil helps, because I am going to drive it tomorrow when I take it to have a middle muffler installed.
OK.... here it is! The WRETCHED oil filter.It made me

when I saw it. I took these photos a little while ago. Yes, it is dark out, so sorry for the low/no quality.
