    keith: my filters are mounted low on the front cross
    member, so I agree the only drain back should be from the high points of the oil line. I will try your suggestion this weekend.
    Phil:
    Not spooked here - both you guys make good points.
    At least neither of you said "just listen till you
    hear knocking or tappet noises - then add a quart"
    None of you commented on synthetic oil, Maybe a bigger
    can of worms???
    All I can say a/b synthetic is: Its Damn slippery stuff.

    Keith:
    Well I tried your suggestion - checking the oil level
    within 30 sec. of shutting off the engine.
    You are correct - Level was lower than the cold level.
    To the tune of a/b a 1/4 qt. So, Its not a major issue
    in IMHO, but is something to watch for.
