I have a Briggs and Stratton 17.5 hp 500 cc engine on my Craftsman riding lawn mower. Looking at the manual, it states the engine needs 48 fluid ounces plus 4 fluid ounces with oil filter change. In removing the oil, I drained it out completely and then replaced the oil filter. I didn;t put the oil plug back in until I finished replacing the oil filter. It should be completely drained. Yet why is my dipstick indicating overfull??? I have put in 46 ounces and I was expecting it to need around 52 fluid ounces? Any ideas. I don't want it overfull or underful. I want just the right amount.
