You say you lost 2 quarts of oil...how do you know that? 2005 Ridgebacks do NOT have an oil dipstick, nor is the oil tank see through? Are you using your finger, a screwdriver, the temp gauge cap??????
All of those methods of checking your oil will NOT/NEVER tell you you are 2 quarts off...where did you come up with this amount?
I'm going to be a dick here and also recap this thread:
1. No oil on garage floor
2. no oil in Primary (you replaced seal)
3. There is NO DIPSTICK
THE OIL IS STILL IN YOUR ENGINE THEN
GO FOR A LONG RIDE AND WARM IT UP TO TEMPERATURE! AT LEAST 20-35 MILES!!! THEN check your oil.
As most have stated...your OIL is still in your engine (PROBABLY THE SUMP)....it doesn't evaporate.....and an air cooled engine DOES use more oil than a liquid cooled one, but not 2 QUARTS.
AGAIN, how do you know the oil is 2 QUARTS off??
It's happy hour now for Marky[/QUOTE]
I am sorry not to 2 quarts. 0.2 quart (200 ml). I myself have made the oil dipstick. Drill tube, made thread in the hole and screw to a metal rod. On the rod did mark max and min level. And also I check the oil level on the lower edge of the filler neck. The amount of oil I determined by quantity of filled in to the level.
