Polls are that way too, the instructions for a poll are on the very first page, but the silly thing shows on all subsequent pages and many people "vote" completely blind based on what they see on the last couple of pages.
but that's how she works, boys and girls ..... reality is.
Firstly, I want to say that I have read this entire thread, from page 1 through page 18, in the last hour or so. Having read it, I have a few comments/observations.
I must comment on this guy over here, Oldfeller, you are a 10! YOU'RE A F*CKIN 10! You mad my night!
Ahem. Secondly, I would like to point out the painfully obvious fact that this entire thread is based on plus/minus 0.25quarts of oil.
And to answer the question on the table, I would like to take a unique point of view, in saying that BOTH the amount of oil AND the inspection method are correct! HAHAHA..cough cough.ahhah......ahem. The logic is as follows: Fill 2.5 quarts of oil and check it periodically to make sure it isn't below the lower level. Periodically doesn't mean 5 minutes after you've poured in the oil, or 5 days after you let the bike sit after an oil change, of course...
