Engine oil Dipstick

How many quarts are in between the bottom and the top of the cross-hatch area?

Tempted to say 1 quart. I was just topping mine off yesterday and it was well below the crosshatch, after pulling and reinstalling injectors. Took 2 quarts from just on the dipstick to the top of the crosshatch.

Someone will chime in to confirm.

What happened? Did you over-fill it?

Just went out and checked my oil! It says on the dipstick that "add mark denotes 2 quarts down". The add mark is at the bottom of the cross hatch. Thanks for the reminder, I was going to check it this weekend and forgot!
