I read on here somewhere someone said after draining the oil, and changing the filter, you can only add 1.75 quarts of oil into the resevoir or it will over fill. Start your motor to let the oil circulate into the crankcase and then add the remaining .25 quarts of oil. Would this work instead?: add the 1.75 quarts of oil into the resevoir, then turn the kill switch off, hit the starter button and let the starter turn the engine over circulating the oil into the crankcase, then adding the remaining .25 quarts of oil. Would this work ok? What i'm asking is, isn't this better than starting your motor with low oil level? The starter turns the crank thus circulating the oil from the rez into the crankcase right? any thoughts?
