Please Help!<br>

 

Hey Gary the dipstick has always read right &amp; I only put 11-12 qt's of oil in I drained the pan...<br><br><br>DRecu!

 

My '99 takes 11 qts with an oil filter change to hit the high mark on the dipstick.

 

can you guys go in chat for a few min?<br>

 

anyone?

 

alright well I took oil out put oil in same thing now just keeps doing it.... think it could be the oil filter? <br><br>DRecu

 

DRecu, go to chat.

 

Drecu, I'm not a cummins mech, but I talked to one where I work as he was leaving. He suggests that you try going back to the original filter. He said that if the new one was plugged somehow that if your pump was really puttin out it would force the oil out. Just passing along what he said. Good luck.<br>Ed

 

Did you pre- fill the filter? Couple false-starts? If not, wonder if the turbo cooked.

From the add to the fill mark is 2 qts. What filter did you change to?<br><br>Mike
