I got my 1st oil change at the dealership, and I think they may have put a little bit too much, as it covered the 2nd drill through hole on the dipstick, and the work order stated 7 qts (shop manager said it was less than 7, but more than 6 and they rounded it up). :angry: Well, today I got my 2nd oil change at a different business, and it measured out to exactly 6.25 qts. which takes it to the top of the XXX bar (where it's supposed to be). This change is with oil filter change. I'm sure somebody wants to know this info, because the owners manual lists it as 6 qts. with filter change. 6.25 qts. and you are 'Good To Go'

Thanks man, that's good to know. It's always better to be a little under than a little over.
