hahah uh oh i dropped 6 qtz on my last two oil changes...
but i do have the hp 1002 (bigger oil filter)
The 1002 is the suggested size filter. The 2009 is the bigger one.
I have noticed during every oil change roughly 0.3 quarts stays in the engine. Not saying it's just at the bottom of the pan either. And it has nothing to do with the Fumoto. All four times, I've noticed the same thing. The only thing you can do is get the oil really hot before you pull the plug and hope most of it drains out. Even still. Oil will continue to cling to the walls and bottom of the pan.
In the future, I would start by adding 5.2 quarts, running the engine, checking the level and topping off from there.
If you put 5.5 quarts in this time you'll be fine. It may show that it's a little full but not enough to harm anything. 6 quarts is definitely pushing it.
With the "bigger filter" the capacity increases to 5.8 quarts. The last change I used a HP-2009 and 5.5 quarts. Ran it. The oil was right at the line.
Good luck. Don't sweat a few extra ounces.
