Gotta be kind of **** to go to that effort.[8D] \\; A guy certainly doesn't do that when he changes oil in his car. \\; There is always residual oil left in the engine. \\; Oil clings to metal as it should. \\; The Moco considers this when they write the Owners manual and states 2-1/2 qts. \\;

RE: Oil change
yeah, that seems a little over the top for these days. considering most of folks change their oil too often anyway, what is the point. My oil is not very dirty when it comes out, even after 5k miles. \\; The quality of oil has increased dramatically over the years, even dino. \\;

RE: Oil change
The are two quantities listed, one for wet capacity (oil changes) and one for dry capacity (engine tear down and cleaning). I think the plug your talking about is not to be removed, it's called the "o'jeez plug". As in "o'jeez what did I just do"! It's definitely not for oil pressure lines.
