Preventing Oil Change Overfill (Read 165 times)

hawk41 Junior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 65 Gilbert, AZ Gender:	Preventing Oil Change Overfill 06/13/16 at 09:34:13 Anybody have a method that easily prevents an oil change overfill when pouring new oil from a 1 gallon container, other than staring at the sight glass? Just finished installing Versy so engine has little or no oil. Thanks!

Then fill up to the lower mark on the sight glass. You will have to check it again after you run it because of the filter cavity. Give it time to drain back down before checking the second time.

Fill the funnel than let it drain, fill then drain, fill then drain...

I remember the first dishwasher I had many years ago and that aluminum parts coming back from the machine shop could be run through the dishwasher to get rid of all the grit and dirt from bead blasting.
