"There's no oil in the engine." There is though?

[Peak Imouto]

During all my oil change missions (change oil, replace oil filter), when i try to finish it, it says it doesnt have oil. But yes it does. I even checked the oil stick, perfectly nestled between min and max. I need to fill it up until it starts bubble at the top before the game agrees there's oil in it, over max limit. What's going on?

did you drain the oil first?

[Officer Payne]

Do you pour it in until the bottle/container tilts back by itself? I have never had the problem you are having and I’ve done A LOT of oil changes.

Yes.

Though it doesn't seem to occur anymore, could have just been a glitch somewhere. Like when you can sometimes pass through cars like they were holograms or something.

Might be a rare bug. I’ve never been able to pass through a car like air.

I have had this issue too. Now I pour oil in until the engine, I wait for the container to tilt a little and then I keep pouring for a second or two longer before i stop pouring. I havent had that issue since I started doing that.

I have encountered this bug also. It seems to happen if you pull the oil bottle to fast, or stop filling too soon. I.E. if you stop filling oil *just* as the bottle starts to tip back, it will state no oil.

I think this is more of a rounding error where if the oil is at say 49.9% full (at about the half mark), the game will round down to 49%, thus stating no oil (when it really means not enough oil).

What I do to prevent this issue is when the bottle starts to tip back, I hold it for just a weeeee bit longer, so if you check the dipstick it shows the oil level around 3/4 to 7/8 full.

Thats exactly what I tried to say. LOL. You said it better :P

[Whiplash]

Wait.. you can stop filling when the bottles tip back? I always fill until they overflow lol

It's 20 glugs when the jugs tip back. Let off the button/key when it's 22-23 glugs, and you're good to go. ;)

totally 100% agree.
this is also true for all other liquids in game.
also all liquids except windwasher require to be drained first.
