So i changed my oil about 1500k miles ago. i threw in 6qts in and it never reached the 2nd dot on the dipstick. i was alil worried but also more worried if i threw more oil in, i'd **** something up. and also, i do not have any oil leaks anywhere. anyone ever have this problem? can someone explain? thanks!

 

Dude thats weird. I only pur 5qts in mine and its exactly at the second dot. Sorry I couldnt help but i would also like to know what the problem could be or is.

 

haha and you are just now worrying about this after 1500 miles??

How long did you wait for the oil to drain down to the pan before you checked the dipstick? Was the car on a flat surface? I know these are obvious questions but you would be surprised...

 

im not gonna lie, this this had me cracking up.

 

i bet you he didn't measure it from a flat surface.

 

haha lol... but back to the topic guys...
OP answer the questions above so we can trying to help you out...

 

Or I know this sounds dumb.... but brand new synthetic oil can sometimes be hard to see on a dipstick... did you just not see it right? over filling can cause problems to the oil pump. My sister over filled her car once starts smoking oil on the tailpipe. Looked hilarious.

 

yeah, i measured it on a flat surface, douche. Im sure it wasnt on the second dot but right below it. or maybe im just seeing things.

its a simple question, not so hard to answer.

 

maybe the dipstick hit something as you were pulling it out. did you measure it a few times? what you can also do is to start your car for a minute. turn it off for 15 minutes and then measure it again.

are you absolutely sure the ground was perfectly flat in every single direction?

if you have no leaks and you are sure you put in 6 quarts of oil, then that means that there are 6 quarts of oil in your crankcase. this is why it leads me to believe it was user error.
