it showed at the bottom of the hash marks. I didn’t think that would be a whole quart though.


And sorry didn’t mean to open up an old thread. I was scrolling and got out of control

I just took this pic of the dipstick, arrow pointing to oil level. This 7.3 burns no oil at all. 130,472 miles on the truck now. 36% still showing on the oil display or 6,422 since last change so far. With yesterday doing a 1,030 mile run/ 15 hours of 65-85 mph. 8 quarts only put in at oil changes.

The reason I was asking is I can change the oil with the oil still at the full mark, but will be ~1 quart missing when draining into original 4 quart oil containers.

I intend on doing the next oil change at 5k and I’ll see if my results vary.
