185 miles since change, and my oil leve has gone UP.

Odd, I know - I dumped in a 5qt jug of oil after draining and swapping to the larger version of the OEM filter size.

I checked the oil then - I was about 1/8th up from the bottom mark.

Couple weeks later, checked it on a random day - totally full. I hadn't started the car for a couple days, so I assume this is due to ALL the oil draining out, where when I was changing the oil perhaps there was still some in the cylinder heads and in the pan....

Anyhow...
