I daily drive a turbo RX7 your offsets mean nothing LOL

But yeah no reason to drop all your oil. Just put a rubber plug (or just your finger) in there while you figure out what went wrong. Its not like you're holding anything but a few centimeters of head pressure.

Thank you Prius owners—I just guzzled down all the gas you saved!
So, having mentioned the wife’s Prius (which I really wouldn’t totally mind if the damn thing just had some leg room!), I sorta expected a response along these lines. I just didn’t know who would be the source. I should have known..
