    The manual says to run the engine up to full working temperature, then park on a level surface, turn off, wait five minutes for oil to flow back into the sump, then measure.

    If you don't do this you get an erroneous result.

    Just went and looked... It looks like I was removing 40-50 ml per syringe for a full removal less than a cup, but getting close.

    For all of "US" metrically-challenged folks in the USA -- 45 ml is just a smidge over three tablespoons -- or 1 and a half ounces....(1.5 ounces).
