Went to change the oil on my /6 today. Pulled the drain plug, removed the oil filter and let it drain for awhile. Cleaned the drain plug, installed with a new washer, installed and new oil filter and started filling.
At about the six quart mark the oil filler started to overflow. I've obviously missed something, but what? Thx, Skip |

Yes, start over.
Pull the drain plug from the sump and drain all the oil from there. Then break the suction oil line in the middle. The factory provided a fitting that is in a bracket just in front of the left rear wheel. Have a big pan for this. Once it has drained, reconnect the line and put the plug back in the sump. Make sure you use a new crush washer on the sump plug. Now fill the tank with 9.5 quarts of oil. Start the engine and warm it up. Then check the oil level with the engine warm and idling. |
