Theoretically If the s13 holds 4.1 qts of oil, and you change the oil, shouldn't you be able to fill up the empty bottles of oil that you just put in the motor? Because when i just did mine, the oil that was drained only filled up 2 1/3 qts of the empty bottles.?? I know there some oil that remains, but not a whole quart, right?

 

so i take it your car doesn't leak or consume any oil.

 

How long has it been since the oil was changed?

 

well idk exactly how long, i bought it form my girlfriends parents who own a towing company, and the car was stolen, and sat in a open field for 2 yrs. so probably 2 and some years. lol.............It doesn't look like theres any leaks, just from where the oil filter got taken off. I was just wondering if this was kind of par for the course.

 

****, the oil proably leaked until it couldn't leak anymore and by now the oil residue is gone.

 

yeah possibly. I only bought it for 500.00 so its not to bad. Its a fixer upper. Does anyone know how i can get my digital speedo to work again. it has a hud too.

 

I can't remember offhand, but use the Search button, I know it's been covered a bunch of times.

 

not right away. you would have to wait longer to seep out all the oil in the crankcase. if it's been sitting for 2 years, that's kinda scary...check your seals and gaskets.

 

Dude, there would still not be almost 2 quarts of "residue" in the engine.

 

did u pour the oil out of the filter too? if not, thats close to a quart.

 

i agree ur seals an gaskets r prolly not in good shape
