Default Re: Oil change confusion.

Pfffrt had a similar issue recently after oilchange on my K3 before winterstop.
New hiflofiltro filter, initially put in like 2.5liters in total, included prefilled filter.
But since I was in a hurry, forgot to start it up for a short while and recheck oil level. Unforgivable. Instead made a trip of about 30km, reved it to max 8000rpm. Came back and realised oil level was way too low, even not visible in sightglass.
Had to add about 400ml to get it just under Hi level. Of course I' m worried now it might have done some damage.
After end of the 30km trip I couldn't hear any abnormal knocking noises or so. Crank, rods, bigends, cams hope all is still ok and the sv-lump has some "safety factor" under the L-mark.
