after sitting for 3 hours?




Roger,
Not likely, but it is possible. Depends on oil viscosity, temp, oil additives, etc. If the oil was fairly frothy when the engine is shut down, it could last a while. Look how long soap suds can last in your kitchen sink. Soap bubbles have much less surface tension to hold them together than bubbles in oil. The smaller the air bubbles in the oil, the longer they will last. Less bouyancy to get them to the surface and a relatively thicker film holding them together when they do surface. Also, the lower the oil temp the longer they will last. But yeah, 3 hours is a long time!

BTW Roger , off topic but, you never got back about the wether there are two digit error codes for the EEC-IV. There is a link to them in the FAQ.
