=================================
i'd guess that it's the sender itself that's failing - perhaps the gnu oil was
viscous enuff to push it over the edge.  unlikely that you'd knock the sender
wire loose changing the oil.  it's located in the ''v'' of the motor, at the
firewall - wery difficult to get at.  ewe need to either get a 'stubby' wrench,
or cut a regular.  don't remember, i think it's a 14mm

================================
if ya dint pre-fill the filter, this is almost exactly what the capacity of the
we6 engine is...  anyway, if it's not above the 'max' marker, it should be ok.

has anyone installed a windage tray on their we6's?  ready-made piece or custom?
