Re: Possible To Over Drain Engine Oil?

Yes but 1.3 quarts is not just a little lower but a lot lower. I could find nothing on a web search about possible pump cavitation when an engine is drained fully. In my mind as the pump drains slowly and completely and the pan is refilled, the pump will slowly and completely refill. I would probably wait for perhaps an hour before starting the engine to give the pump plenty of time to refill. I also always fill a new filter with oil before installing it.
