6 quarts of oil
- Thread starter MACDRIVE

A couple of questions:
1) Why the heck do you want to put in extra oil? Even if the engine will be ok with it, you're just gonna have to pay more to dispose of it next time you change it.
2) Why the heck do you hang out there...we are so much cooler than them.

I don't want to add an extra quart necessarily; I was just curious if it would hold an extra quart without causing a problem.
I agree, there is no comparison between BC and MacRumors.
Don't you see anything wrong with the way he responded to a simple question that could've been answered by Yes or No?

Oh, I think the answer was clear enough...
I go there to pick up any relevant information pertaining to the GM 3800 V6, but the site is a real drag to stay there for any length of time.
Buy an oil cooler, and if it has one buy a bigger one. If you really are concerned about getting your oil cooled.
An extra quart is a lot of extra oil for most engines. Many, if not all, can hold another half quart or so without causing any problems, but there is little benefit. The only tangible benefit I see would be if your engine burns or leaks oil, then you wouldn't have to check the level as often, or top it off.
The purpose of this thread was to bring to attention the staunch differences in behaviour between people of a car forum and the people of a computer forum. The level of education between the two different classes of people was readily apparent as soon as I read iMeowbot's post.
Over at Bonneville Club, I was roasted in flames by an administrator (whom goes by the name of willwren) for raising the seemingly preposterous question of adding an extra quart of oil to an engine designed with a sump capacity of 5 quarts including filter.
I've come to realise that I'm much happier to be among the friendly people here at MacRumors that share my same frame-of-mind.

you owned him in this post
and the images in the sigs are really annoying.
also, he talked about reading the Owner's manual. I'm sure the owners manual says something like DO NOT MODIFY THIS VEHICLE somewhere...
MR is the best place to be

And there's a forum dedicated to people who are in love with motor oil too.

I wouldn't mind a tiny image in my sig just to help identify my posts since I can't have an avatar but I've seen it get out of hand in certain forums.
I've just rechecked the forum that's linked to and not only are the sig images low quality, subsequent posts don't have them turned off.
I'm always pleased by the quality of posts and discussions on MR.
just get a distinguishable signature. i know which posts are mine from the bold lettering, and the occasional coloured letter.

My letters are in purple, so that makes it a little easier for me.
But that said, it also helps when you have a bright red heart for an avatar.

You mean you are insane also? or are you normalized via medication?
Uh...are my eyes bad, or does that willwren guy have nearly 44,000 posts?
haha and we thought madjew was outta control
Ah but mad jew posts because he enjoys being here and enjoys helping people with their Macs; willwren posts because he's a paid administrator who hates his life for having to spend 8 hour shifts listening to people like me ask ridiculous harmless questions.
Comparing mad jew to willwren is like comparing Michael Scofield to Mr. Kim
