Your system now contains 8.75 qts-at least. Draining a pan leaves maybe 2 pints in the pan unless you lean the car over on the stands. Your cooler may hold more depending on whose it is. My Earls is .5 qt. Where is Euclid when you need him?

C'mon-I said you were a pretty bright guy...
Well, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. If we're talking about the Zen of the Triangle Offense and the artfulness of the 1-3-1 half court zone trap defense, then I'm your man, er, coach.

I won't be evacuating my entire system. Drain pan and oil filter. Pan takes 9 quarts and oil filter about one or less. As Got The Bug and Patrick mentioned earlier, I will add .75 or whatever to the filter and 8 quarts to the pan. Start and run and then check it later. Add to full line. Ta Da!
