after i changed the oil and did all of the normal stuff u do i check it like a week later and it showed no oil so i put more oil in and started it for about 5 min. and let it sit for another 5 min. and when i checked it it was way over filled and i know i did not over fill it. has anyone else ever had that problem?

you've got to let it idle for 4 or 5 minutes, shut it off, then check it..

If you rev it up, or let it sit to long the reading will be inaccurate..
