Ahem,
Not to sound critical or be a know-it-all, but one of the first things I learned about doing my own maintenance was to fill the new filter with fresh oil when installing it. Installing a dry filter is IMO not a good idea. Also, getting your motor hot before the change should ensure that the temperature regulated valve on the oil cooler is open and that oil will drain out. The last thing is once the dirty filter is off and the drain plug open , pull the plug wires and roll over the engine by bumping the starter. Somewhere on the site there is a link to a study of the most popular brands of synthetic and Dyno oils and explanations as to which hole which is best in. Redline, while superior for one place is not a good three hole product. Sorry if that gets anyone's undies in a bunch, but I am going on the information in that survey which was backed up with science. Amsoil, Syn3 and Mobiil 1 rate far superior for use in all three holes. And just to completely confuse the issue, Dafixer says if you change your oil every 2.500 miles you are wasting you money on synthetics. He backs that up with knowing first hand the all time high mileage EVO owner and what his maintenace habits were. Ok, so now I'm on topic, but I'm off topic and this thread is going morph into another "which product to use " debate. The answer to the question above is 4 qts - - - 1/2 in the new filter and 3 1/2 in the crankcase.
