Yeah i had an evo ix before. In the manual it says do not add a quart unless you are below the min.

Im at the halfway mark between min and max? Should i still top it off with a quart? Now i think my mind is playing tricks on me thinking i hear things fron the motor which i hadnt before i just never had listened to it before.
