Well I added 4 quarts and its still not registering on the dipstick. Fucking mercedes engine doesnt read oil on the dipstick till an hour after it settles. Its going to be a 5 hour process figuring out how much I need to add tomorrow.

And Im going to have to run thicker oil since I cant wait 2 weeks for my 5-30 to come in the mail. Fuck

BTW, did a little mpg test for the Vette. With heavily mixed freeway, street and a BIG chunk of romping through the mountains and WOT blasts I averaged 20mpg.

Thats fantastic. I can do 18 all freeway, but if I put my foot into it it's single digits.
