Nope, I let it run for a little to get the oil into the filter, then shut it off, let it sit to let the oil in the head run into the pan, then I checked the oil level. It read on the dipstick a little above the lower dot after pouring about 4.2 quarts in. Had to put about 4.8 to get to top dot. :dunno: :thinking:
