Oil change question

[DWBOX2000]

Bentley says 9.25 quarts with filter change. I guess I'll check again in spring and do the filter if needed. Thanks.

Always change the filter with oil change. The added benefit is that you can inspect it for IMS wear

Go by the dipstick. If it shows good, then you are fine. If it’s shows over full than you need to drain some oil. The dipstick won’t bend, unless you jam it in, just feed it with two hands. Simple. The gauge in the car should always read full at the top mark (yes there is a range) but full is where you want it. Ultimately the dipstick is the final rule.

You sure about the top level on the electric Guage. I've always ran that in the middle? Either way, I'll go by dip stick. Thanks everyone.

My 2001 S shows middle point on dipstick but slightly high on digital gauge. What I mean slightly high it looks over filled. I put 9 quarts as the Bentley manual states.
