[V8] RE: V8 Digest, Vol 2, Issue 49 ~~~ Probable Spam ~~~

[Campozano, Robert]

Wow, I created a monster.  I feel happy to think I have actually
contributed to this list by asking about oil and Dave Head kindly
answering back.  Great info...just had my oil changed and put 8.5 quarts
just to be safe but the car does smoke it right out the pipe.  From now
on, 8 quarts it is!!!  Thanks again for everyone's responses to the oil
question and headlight questions...*very* much appreciated.

Take care,

This has got to be because of some issue with cavitation or excess
pressure causing it to leak.  I know there's a baffle, and aerated oil
would probably show up as low pressure or high temp or some such, so
maybe it just gets forced out, but too many people have reported the
same thing.  Strange that my dipstick reads full with 8 qts.  Not so
strange when I remember that I replaced it years ago due to breaking the
finger hole off.

Two jugs of Rotella at Advance Auto fills it up perfectly.  Much
better.>>
