Changed my oil yesterday, 6 quarts 10w30, went right to the full mark on the dipstick. Changed the filter as well. All went well until I poured the used oil from the jeep (including from inside the filter) back into the jug and it read 4 1/2 quarts.
This seems too low to me. Obviously not every drop is going to come out, but a quart and a half seems excessive. I had it parked on a slight incline so the oil would drain to the back of the pan.
Only 67k on the engine and ~5000 since last oil change. Does 4 1/2qt coming out seem concerning to anyone or am I just paranoid? Never noticed any smoke and my oil pressure gauge has not noticeably dropped since last change.
