[QUOTE="jbc, post: 393, member: 49"] Thanks for the reply. Before I changed the oil, the oil level was at the top of the indicated marks. On my machine the upper and lower marks are about 4" apart. When I drained and refilled with 7.5 qts the oil level was below the halfway point. I put the other .5 qt in just to be safe. It seems that if you fill it to the upper mark that it is overfilled. 8 qts puts it exactly halfway between the upper and lower marks. I was thinking that I may have the wrong dipstick. Anyway I guess I will stick with 8 qts. I put Rotella 15-40 back in it. I am in Alabama and our summers get pretty hot. I could not get away with a 5-40 in the summer. Mobil is good oil though. I will probably use Delo next time. I have been running that in my trucks for years. [/QUOTE]
