2late4u Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 yes, that is normal, and it goes down right away if you noticed it,,hope you used the right oil filter and also didnt over tighten your oil cap as they are easy to crack the oil body jkeaton, larryl and Armando G 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Normal. So stick to 5w20 not 5w30 and synthetic. The torque spec for the oil filter cap, is printed on the top , 25 N/m I believe. Careful when buying filter element. There is two versions, yours is the older original design.
