Overfilled Oil

Right....I'd like to see you pre-fill the oil filter on an Ecotec 4 cylinder engine. And many other engines....good luck!

Ian

Bingo.

The majority of 4-bangers I've worked on have the filter mounted parallel to the ground, making it just a wee bit difficult to pre-oil the filter before install.

As of yesterday (12-19), the "Help diagnose starting problem" thread.

No starter motor action and there you were, blathering about Throttle Position Sensors, vacuum leaks, MAF sensors, fuel pressure under load and your tinker toy scan tool.

That's five technical errors in ONE post!

Any other questions?

Yes just one. WHY DO YOU EXIST?

You have never, to my knowledge, contributed -anything- to the n/g except negative criticism.

If that was my car, I would take a jump kit and connect it across the starter contacts and see if it spins. That's just me. Takes 1 minute.

The problem as I understood it, was that the OP's car was *cutting out* while driving. Different, eh? Not what you said, what HE said.

I reiterate, you are useless as a source of information. In fact, worse than useless. You are not a contributor, you are a troll.

Because nothing has been able to kill me yet. (not for a lack of opportunity though)

Key words being "to my [your] knowledge."

Really? What happened to your thoughts of connecting your scan tool as posted previously? Seriously, how the hell can you misinterpret a statement like;

What "he" said is directly above, it has >>> in front of it. Put your finger underneath each word and sound them out if you have to, take notes and reference them as often as you need.

Gee Lawrence, you -did- ask the question, I merely provided examples that satisfied your query.

Fine by me...

pre-oil

You might not be able to completely fill it on all cars, but even if you can get 1/4 qt in a 1/2 qt filter you have lessened the amount of time with no oil pressure. I remember a few cars were your hands were completely tied over the years, like the Chrysler slant six with the filter mounted upside down, or more than a few toyotas were the filter was mounted angled down, or any engine that used a cartridge instead of a spin on filter.

I never -really- plonk anybody. I just say that for some reason; knee-jerk reaction.

I think you're an OK guy even if you don't like me. Makes no difference one way or another, but you're OK by me. So is about everybody else.

Geez Larry, you should really make sure and stay on your medication. It works wonders. Bob

How nice of you to be concerned about my Health. What a wonderful gesture of warm Humanity. I feel renewed.

BTW, I hope you enjoy your Holiday Season and find some happiness in it. This can be a tough time of year for a lot of people, being mixed in with *relatives* they can't stand ;-\

Well, shyeagh dude, the poor misguided fact-challenged OP told you to name a "SINGLE" error...
