Can't seem to find a jack point on the car. I need to drive it up a ramp to pour out some oil.

Okay to drive?

i would say it's okay.

but when'd you check it? for the mechanically uninclined, you should be careful checking the oil in the VQ35's

i hate checking the oil in our cars, you have to wait for it to settle for quite a while.

Why worry bout something ****ing up, when you can just simply crawl under the car and unscrew one bolt and fix the problem?

Ok. I forgot you had to take 24 bolts off just to change the oil.

Just pour some water into your engine, around 16o.z and the oil will pour out of the engine. Around 1inch, where you want your oil to be right. Don't worry about the water in your engine, it will evaporate when you drive it for a while.

GOOD LUCK.

I'm surprised no one has asked how much he actually poured in considering how insanely idiotic our stock dipstick is.

I'm not big on Brilliant Silver, either.

Sounds like OP got it handled.

So how much DID you put in?
