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 but was a little concerned with not getting out 6 qts or a little less than that?

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.

that is something i do not like about the oil pan drain. instead of being at the rear of the pan, so you can use ramps to roll up on. and all oil will drain.
it s on the side where you have to have the car level to get it all out. bad design for the oil drain plug i say

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.
