Some consider how much oil is contained up inside a running engine. And lines to and from a remote mounted filter if used.

i can relate to the system capacity, but if i am not mistaken on most of the adds, they would say something like 5-8 (what ever the pan is supposed to be if you get my point)
and definitely get what is laying around in the engine and lines
guess maybe i just look to deep into things at times
as far as oil in the engine, when i do oil changes, i try to jack the car up in a few different ways to help move around and get out as much as i can, side to side, front, shake the car, etc, i just tell myself i'm trying to get all the ickeyness out so theres new fresh oil. i know... i probably need to find other leisurely things to do, but i'm not a video gammer and right now playing on the car is my favorite hobby. funny part is i only do that with the TA, the dailys i can careless about, drain and fill and move on
