 So I changed my oil. I replaced filter and added just below 9.25 quarts.  I noticed the oil indicator says the oil is one bar below the full line, so above middle.  Is that okay or should I pull some out.  I went a little low so I wouldn't overfill so I am surprised it registers a bit high.  I haven't check the dpi stock yet.  I did run the car to 180.  Thoughts? |

 Dip stick, not whatever I wrote above. | 
| 
 That is right where you want it. But check the dipstick because sometimes the digital isn't accurate. 9.25 is more than I can usually get in there. | 
| 
 And.... .....despite what the owner's manual says, check it after she has sat for three nights without running to get an accurate reading. On these engines, a little too little, is WAY better than a little too much. The flat engine sump design can handle a lower oil level without drama better than other designs. |

 I read the 9.25 quarts in the Bentley manual for a filter change.  Maybe I read something wrong. | 
| 
 9.25 is probably right if you can get all the oil out and let it drain for at least an hour. I've never been able to get that much out. I usually end up filling between 8.5 and 9 | 
| 
 It drained for over 20 minutes, tilted, level.  Probably an hour. | 
| 
 Oh, I probably got closer to 9.  I am assuming the lines on the side of the mobile one 5 quart each represent a quart.  Lines on left.  2 jugs, left with just one jug at just above the bottom line. | 
| 
 Sorry lines on right.  I'm losing my mind.  I wish they would put the #'s on the side versus just a line. |

 Lol @ rapid fire posts. Take a deep breath... I recently did oil changes on three of mine. The level looked great on the cluster and dipstick right after I filled it. The next day it was 2 marks higher on the cluster and noticeably a little higher on the dipstick. I'm not sure if it was from the oil settling in, or from being out of level. It's easy to drain a little oil out if it is high by just pulling the filter housing and dumping it. |

 I do 9. No more, 9.25 would be ok but do not add more |
