Last night after posting this (around 12:30am ) I grabbed the work lift and drained off about 2q of oil . Eminently after I changed the oil earlier that day I noticed a clicking noise coming from the engine but thought nothing of it untile I got home and realised there are 4q in a gallon and i used 3.5 gallons of oil What frustrates me even more is that when I bought my oil from o'reillys I asked the gentleman behind the counter if this was enough oil he replied yet that's exactly how much you need clearly we where both wrong
Wait, if you used 3.5 gallons, that would mean you used 14 quarts. The truck calls for 13. If you drained 2 quarts, you are now a quart low...

Yep. The key here is, check the oil level after an extended soak and ensure the level is in the correct part of the hatched area.
