So you have alway been able to empty the full capacity from the car? Or is the listed capacity taking into account that not all of it comes out? I had alway thought the listed capacity was for a new fill on a crate engine, maybe that was my ignorance?

and as far as I know or have seen the system does not warn when overfilled, so it has always been in my best interest to underfill and top off.
