Last year my wife purchased a surprise birthday present for me, a super a. I've been too busy to work with it until recently. Today i went to change the oil. My first indication i have problems is that when i pulled the drain plug on the filter canister it was dry . Then when i pulled the drain plug on the pan, instead of the anticipated 5 qts- i was surprised to find +/- 3 gallons of oil. There does not appear to be any water or anti-freeze in it.
As a novice, my suspicion is that the oil pump is shot and the previous owner just filled the crank case to keep it running.
My question is am i headed in the right direction or is there something else i'm missing?
