He already put 5 qts. in!
May be he has a Baker oil pan?

 

Look in the good book and it says 4 quarts with filter, do not overfill or the god of pucked out oil, through the air cleaner will get you. Change the filter and you will be just right or maybe a little over full.

 

Well I learned something today. I sure never knew that you could take off the oil filter without draining the oil. (not that I ever needed to). But you never know I might have a brain fart someday and forget to change the filter. By then I will have probably have forgotten this useful info. LOL
On a side note if you did have to drain the oil, couldn't you just drain it into a clean container and then pour it back in after you changed the filter? That would probably be what I would have done instead of thinking to ask.

 

yeah you could do that, but after all the good advice given here your problem is solved

 

one other piece of advice when installing a new filter put a little oil on your finger and rub it on the new gasket
tighten finger tight til snug and then give it about 3/4 of a turn after that

 

That's what I was going to say.

 

Mobil 1. Much better than syn 3 any day of the week. Even the 20w-50 vtwin is a little cheaper at autozone than syn 3 which is not a full synthetic. "nuff said...

 

I'm too lazy to check the other threads and if you don't answer my question I'll understand, but...why do you say Mobil 1 is better than Syn? Can one synthetic oil be THAT much better than another?...price notwithstanding.
