i just read my post from before, i didnt mean to make it sound like you were an idiot, sorry grabbem. Im at work and I wasnt really payin attention to what I was typing. No hard feelings i hope.

+1 for checking your motor mounts tho. Any mods in the future you plan on making will go A LOT smoother with good mounts. (ask anyone with ah*tty mounts about long tube headers rubbing.)

It will take 5 quarts with a filter change 4 quarts with out a filter. I would just drain some more out or take off the filter and drain that..will be about a quart, wouldn't drain it all. I think you should check you PCV if it looks like oil is comming up your dipstick tube...

In my experience, the F is the "full mark"--or rather just below it.
