Saturn Ion 2007 2.2 engine - Oil left in engine after oil change
I am doing oil change in my car putting car in the normal ramp at home.
My car capacity is 4.7 liter of engine oil but only 3.8 liter comes out and rest is always present inside engine .
Is this normal or am i doing something wrong ?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

How tall are your ramps and is the car sitting uphill before you place it on the jacks?
Sounds like maybe the nose of the car is too high relative to level ground.
WHat weight oil are you running?

Oil filter is a cartridge type that sits in a canister on top of the engine. After putting oil in, the filter canister will not fill until the engine is run for a couple of minutes. I have a 2004 2.2L and always put 5 quarts (4.7 liters) in, run the engine for a few minutes checking for leaks, then shut the engine off and check the oil level after a couple more minutes. Level is always good, maybe a fingernail above the full mark. I also use ramps to change oil, but check the oil when it is back on level ground.
