Yesterday I changed the oil on my 2014 Honda Accord and yes I posted it in the thread "Post your latest oil change". I had both wheels up in the air using jack stands. I wanted to use my ramps but due to the lower bumper being as low as it is, I didn't want to scuff the bottom of it. So the engine was hot and I let it drain for the usual time. When I got to the filter I put the plug back in partially to work on the filter. After the filter was installed I pulled the plug and some trickled out. I always remove the oil cap and dipstick before it drains. After I filled it, checked for leaks and lowered it, I was down a 1/2 a quart with 4.50 quarts in. So I let it sit some and it was still short a 1/2 qt. So I added a 1/4 qt. and put it in the driveway for the night. Checked it in the morning and it was down a 1/4 qt. I just added the rest of the oil to make it full. Just curios as to why it took the extra half quart, So my questions are these:
Was the factory fill diluted with too much gas, thus thinning it out?
Does the Fram Ultra absorb more oil due to the media content?
Was this just because it was hot and up in the air?
I know it's only a half quart over per the manual and some on here don't care but it's that [censored] OCD I have. Lol. I apologize for the long post but I wanted to give a detailed explanation so nothing was left out. Thanks in advance, Steve.
