Yep, 7 is correct then.

Wonder if there is something in the pan preventing a complete drain.....

I’m not sure I drained the oil and where the dip stick was so black I drained it all at it was still reading over full I think maybe the design of the dip stick might be a little funky lol

I let it drain for well over 30 mins as soon as I poped the plug it just drizzled out it didn’t even get on my fingers much like a normal oil change

Take a look in the oil fill hole, is it really gunked up in there?? Wonder if a flush would be a good idea......

Gotta be a reason the oil came out slow...... Got a bore scope by any chance? Would be interesting to poke it into the pan, and have a look see.

No I don’t I’m not sure why it would have come out so slow I’m concerned about the dip stick level reading more then anything but I know I let it drain for over 30mins and I put in 6-7 quarts
