[QUOTE="White Whine, post: 2582990, member: 24201"] hey guys, just did my first oil change, used a k&n filter, as always, and went to walmart and got a 5qt jug of mobil 1 5w30 and a 1 qt bottle as I've read people typically put 6qts in. well, I cleaned the dipstick, dropped in the 5qts, pulled the dipstick again...three times...and every time the line was right in the middle of min-max. so, after 5qts it looked like it was right where it should be. I'm impatient and didnt wanna post for answers in the middle of my change, so I just added about half of the remaining 1qt bottle and it brought up the line to right around max. my question is, does anyone just use 5qts? I couldnt find anywhere in the manual that said how much to use, just from reading did I see 6qts all over, some said 5.5. should i just rely on my dipstick and maybe only use 5qts next time? whats the deal?
