Well I had the car back to the service station and the mechanic
drained the oil and re-filled with exactly 4 quarts. The dip
sticj still showed about an inch over the MAX line. They had
no advice for me. I thought maybe sludge in the pan. Then I
thought a clogged filter. So to thest the latter I want to
replace the oil filter. But can I do it without draining the oil?
It is high up on the block, I'd like to try it before dropping
the pan or some other investigation.
Thanks

You will never get all the old oil out.
Best thing is to to drain, gradually add oil until it shows max on the
stick after being allowed to settle for a minute or two.

Once it shows max, run it for a few minutes and then check level after
the filter and oil ways have filled. Let it drain back for 5 minutes,
check the level again, add if needed.

Never go with adding a set ammount of oil, because that is what the book
says the capacity is. It will usually list several quantities, dry fill
(new, never filled engine), drain and fill, and drain and fill with
filter. usually even then it will be slightly over what you need.

I think the "official" capacity is 4.2 quarts (or was that litres?). I don't
have the book on hand to check. But after I drain it, adding 4 quarts seems to
get me right up to max, or at least not more than a hair above it.

Regarding the oil filter: I find that even after the oil is drained, a fair bit
of oil still comes out (mostly onto my hands) when I unscrew the filter.
