Thank you everyone for the responses, ideas and suggestions! This is a fantastic forum! I think I have a good idea of what I need to do now to safely remedy this issue, thanks again!
Interesting, I’m little bit more curious now, I may measure how much oil actually comes out during my next oil change, I’ll probably use a couple empty 5qt oil contains to measure, 2 quarts seems like a lot of leftover, I may park it on ramps too to see if that makes a difference as well.

I guess I’ll flush it just to be safe, what product would you recommend?
Should I drive the truck for a little while on the oil I just put in it (fresh oil and filter without motorkote) first before I use a flush since I’ll have to immediately drain out all of the new oil again after adding the...
Hello, new to the forum, need assistance / advice.
I mistakenly decided to try Motorkote Hyper Lubricant in my engine (5.7 Hemi V8) yesterday, I added 14ozs of it to 6.5qts of fresh 5w20 Pennzoil conventional oil.
