4th quart is at the full level. If you pour out 1 qt. you will be down to the 3 mark.

Over 10K miles on my current oil, and the level on the dispstick is almost exactly wher eit was when I topped her off at the oil change. Virtually no consumption. 130,000 miles on the clock.

Yes... OilGuard unit. I installed it the same day as my last oil change. I had one Blackstone analysis at 6K miles, and will be getting the second one at 12K.

Same here, in my 2003 7.3L the oil gets old before I wear it out and if it looks good I don't change it. At 2000 miles after an oil change I swear you can still read through it. So I'm not using any oil yet or any measurable amounts of it. I should hit 100,000 miles about 2013 a.d.

The 4th line is the level where the liquid is when the jug is full. The lines equate to "quantity remaining" if measured from top to bottom....3,2,1,..ect..
When you pour down to the "3" line you just put in one quart.
