Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
IOWs, the oil change time is when the electronic oil level sensor in the engine block is confirmed to be working right, along with of course changing the oil and filter.

Then add back in the amount of oil the factory says and get the engine up to temperature again and the oil hot then check the level.

My info is the factory issues fill amounts for a 20 minute drain interval and for an overnight drain interval.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Changed my oil and filter today for the first time. I put 9qt's back in and drove it around a few minutes then let it sit for a couple hours. Is this where it should be on the gauge? 8B927ECF-B06F-41E4-BFD4-3FC86BEE7EAD_zps1e6y0jne.jpg

POST 2Original post

Yes. Check it again in the morning cold. Or don't worry about it for a few thousand miles

POST 3Original post

Yeah, about. A bar or two low when "cold" is about right cause the oil expands when hot and when checked hot should be a bar or two higher, but not above the full or max line. 'course, just a couple of hours sitting won't let the oil cool down that much. It is important to warm the engine up to temperature then drain the oil for 20 minutes then add in the right amount of oil. My info is the factory issues fill amounts for a 20 minute drain interval and for an overnight drain interval. (Newer models get a longer, 1 hour I think, drain interval.) Then add back in the amount of oil the factory says and get the engine up to temperature again and the oil hot then check the level. Because proper procedure was followed and the right amount of oil was added back into the engine when the level is checked this is used to confirm the in-dash oil level display shows the correct level. IOWs, the oil change time is when the electronic oil level sensor in the engine block is confirmed to be working right, along with of course changing the oil and filter.

POST 4Original post

Along the same line, make sure you drive the car long enough to warm up the oil to operating temp. Then leave it alone enough time (overnight) so most oil drains back to the sump.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys. The engine was up to temp when I drained the oil. I let it drain for about 30 min. Ill check it again in the morning. I'm also going to cut open the filter and inspect it. I'll post picture of the results.
