Changed my oil yesterday and was going to put 6.7 Qts. in as the owners manual addendum states, but it showed full after 5 Qts? Any info/advice appreciated... :shrug:

Did you start it up and then check the level again? My car always takes more than 5 qts.

Did you think of the oil cooler? It probably holds the difference, and I don't think you can get it out by just draining the oil pan.

Again, my $.02

Yes, I checked the level after running it, but did not drain the cooler. Are you supposed to drain the cooler separately? Thanks for the response.

If you want the oil out of the cooler, you should take the lines loose, and drain them, then blow through the lines with controlled air SLOWLY.
