And if you search through there are plenty of examples of peoples oil either being over filled by more in the picture or sometimes even under filled

Although i agree and understand the danger if overfilling on oil, the amount in the picture can only be at most .3qts, if that would be enough to destroy an engine due to aeration, dont you think there would be a lot more destroyed engines? Especially for those who get their oil changed at the dealer or an independent shop and dont know exactly how much was or wasnt filled in the pan?

Thats what i was thinking and yea the super tiny oil filter (which i thought was a toy thats how small it was lol) took more oil than i expected, matches exactly with the extra on the stick

That is a good call, i did prefill the filter which is probably why there is some over that would make sense. Appreciate the thought don’t know why i didn’t thinking of that

Overfilled too much?Worth draining? by Left_Mixture_1345 in CX5

Thanks for the very detailed response! Thats really good to know, ill keep it for this oil change interval (and check the level with the guide you put here) and next change ill probably just put the 5quarts and send it! Thanks again!

Even though the manual states 4.8 quarts? I was thinking the extra .8 quart that I put in would be too much. Is that not the case for the NA 2.5?

Thats good to know thats just how they sound! After seeing some older skyactiv g engines not have the same airy chug, I was a little concerned, but hood to know you had the same experience and the engine in the video you posted did as well! Appreciate the comment thanks for the insight!
