Am I wrong?
I just did my oil change and put in 6 qts, but I didn't get 6 qts out. Should i be getting 6 out? I did the change to Royal Purple and noticed a little more than 1 mpg increase

I do have a V6. I gues my question is how much oil should I expect to loose if I don't have a catch can?

Did you have the car level when draining? 3 seems to be to little.

That has to be it. Three quarts is not enough to get a full oil change.

Did you check the level before you drained it? Maybe it was low.

Sounds like you may have been 3 quarts low. Check it more often. You're lucky the whole thing didn't blow up.
