Oil Change - Amount of oil
I just returned from my dealer who always does my oil changes. This time they put in 7 quarts of oil. When I questioned why the extra quart when in the past it has alway been 6 they say "well that brings it up on the dip stick"
Anyone have any knowledge on this? Is it 6 or 7.

You don't even need the service manual -- the owner's manual in the glove box says it clearly enough. But I agree, if someone wants to top off their oil level so it's always at the top of the range, go right ahead. I prefer to have mine between the bottom and middle of the range, just as long as it isn't below the low level.

I went back to the dealer today and talked to the service manager. Bottom line, at least from him, 6 quarts is what is called for but the previous manager instructed his crews to put 7 in to bring it up to the max line on the stick.
He refunded me for the extra quart and assured me it would not cause any seal problems and gave me a free oil change next time around.
I applicate all the info from the board members. This is a great source for information.
