My assumption is that when the engine stops oil sits in the filter and doesn’t drain down to the crankcase. If I added a quart I am sure the dip stick would show way over full. I am puzzled.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 4, 2015, at 3:43 PM, Ron Fraser <<a href="mailto:rfraser@bluefrog.com" class="">rfraser@bluefrog.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

w/non-stock filter<br class=""><br class=""></font></div>I have a little different problem. My
260 almost fills to the “full line” on the dipstick with a little more than 4
