So I've been around for years on here and know why it's a good idea to run slightly above full on the dipstick.
But let me get a little more picky here. I've read people say they run 1/2" above the full mark. Really, a full 1/2" ??
Seems like I can run 1/4" high and be fine, but if I go up to 1/2" high, the engine burns the extra oil off or something, as the oil level drops back down to like a 1/4" high.
And No, I do not believe there is anything wrong with my engine, it does not further burn any oil. I can change my oil 8k miles later and still be 1/4" high.
Thoughts?
