[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 154174, member: 3625"] I change the filter every second time. So I suppose I would need two capacities; one with and one without changing the filter. I just finished draining the oil (crankcase and oil tank) but it's not time to change the filter. There's no hurry to put new oil in. It's still bloody cold around here. One thing I've learned is that overfilling the tank will cause oil to get around the cork on the cap and splash out. I've done all sorts of things to stop that and it's better, but still does it to some extent. I made a deflector for the return, bought a ventless cap (oil was coming out the vent hole) and diverted the chain oiler to a modified valve cap as a breather just for the tank. All of this helped but still, the top of the tank will be wet with oil if the level is high enough to be visible from the filler. It has to be lower and I have to use a stick (a spoke, actually) to check the level. [/QUOTE]
