OK Gary, I'm going to play "devils advocate" here.
Isn't leaving a 1/2 pint or less of dirty oil in your engine, a lot like adding a 6 oz. bottle of "Dirty oil additive" to your engine during every oil change?
I know there's 272 oz. of brand new "fresh" oil to dilute it, but let me put it this way.
What if you just paid a Certified Chrysler Dealer $150.00 to change your oil, and when your ready to drive off the service manager tells you to hold up just long enough for him to add 6oz. of dirty oil back in.
What would you say to him?
Like Sparkie, I don't mind getting up close and personal with the underside of my car every 5000 miles or so.
