Hi,

As I understand it, the Filter takes about 0.75 Qts. with it. No, if you open the cannister, only the Oil in it and the Filter will be removed from the system - 0.75 Qts...

Thanks MN...then all that needs to be done is to remove the filter, drain the canister, replace filter, start the car, and then check the level. If more needs to be removed...repeat. If to much removed, just add a little oil at a time until satisfied.
