@kingsley15 Yeah cause the first creators of the automobile had an owners manual that allowed them to know everything...they did trial and error....you can figure alot out on your own....

[3wheeler016]

great video, but only one problem. on every single vehicle i've worked on, and i work on them every day, from the lowest line on the dipstick to the highest, always takes a full quart, not a half.
