Hello folks,
Did my first oil change in my 3.6R OB after the initial break in period. I poured in 6.9 quarts of 5w-30 synthetic oil as per manual recommendations. However, after parking my car on a level surface I've noticed that the oil dip stick shows only 2/3 of oil level between lower and upper hole marks. I added about a half quart more oil and went slightly over the top hole mark. Now I have a dilemma, should I drain that little excess of oil and settle on around 7 quarts for the next oil change, or just leave that oil level as it is and use around 7.4 quarts next time. Will that small oil overfill harm the H6 engine in any way? What is the real oil capacity for this engine?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
