Oil level indicator

I vaguely remember (against all logic) that the gauge is more accurate than the stick. ill cruise around the forum see if I can find that.

Thank you. They just did the oil change a few hundred miles ago and put in 9.5 quarts, so not sure what is going on.

I think 9.5 qts is a little too much. I would suggest you drain some. Check your manual to see what your capacity is. Overfilled oil causes AOS failures.

After looking around the forum. (and a trip to DC for some lunch) it seems that both are a bit on the unreliable side.

I know for my car it always seems like there is some play with the dipstick so I never truly know how accurate it is.
