These cars are really particular about the oil fill. I changed the oil in my '02 S this past weekend with the usual 0W40 Mobil 1. Drove the car to get to temp (180*), changed the filter and let the oil drain for half an hour. Put in 8 quarts, checked level (didn't even register on dipstick or dash). Added another half quart and ran back to operating temp; still didn't register on dash. Added remaining half quart (nine in total) and now I show second bar from the bottom on dash gauge. I will not add any more oil until I have a chance to drive the car a few miles and see where I sit then. Most likely will need another half quart, which is sitting on my shelf.
