[QUOTE="SaharaJp99, post: 865613, member: 21309"] I've had a similar situation while changing the oil in my truck. Was changing the oil in my pick up at one of the JD dealerships I work at and they have the auto fill deals, just set how many GALLONS you want, stick the hose in the fill of the engine, pull the lever and it fills it. I leave it, start putting away tools etc. Well, apparently I did not read the meter correctly and figured it was quarts. Amazingly a 5.9L Cummins can hold 12 gallons of oil and not spew it out the valve cover. Figured it out before I started it, so no harm no foul, other than a VERY expensive oil change. Oh yeah, been there done that with the drain pans with a cover and a hole in the center. Luckily I noticed it quickly and had my knife on me and stabbed about 15 more holes in the top of that cover before it became a mess! [/QUOTE]
