I primed my oil pump on my 2005 Preddy for the first time. Worked well as instructed and filled the oil tank till full before priming. After I got done priming and finished running for a few seconds the oil level was low. I put in exactly what manual says, but since it ran through motor for first time should I add for oil till its full again? I know this sounds stupid, but I am just checking, thanks.

 

If you added 2 full quarts and only ran it for a few seconds you will show low. Run it for at least 4 or 5 minutes and then kill it and let it sit awhile. Then check the level with the dip stick all the way in.

 

Okay thanks, sure for those few minutes i wont be running it low?

 

No,you wont be running it low.Now that I've opened my old memory bank a little on the Predator,after you run it awhile,kill it and check the oil level,you may have to add a few ounces or so to reach the full mark.Seems like this was the only model that took a tad over 2 quarts. It's been a while,can't remember all the machines and their quirks..

 

Okay thanks again
