5.7 Oil Change Question
Hi All,
Just did my first oil change on the R/T. My specs say its a 7Qt capacity. I put in 7 and the oil was juuust touching the bottom of the dipstick. (after warming up and sitting for a while) Any ideas as to why this would be? It's got the oil cooler, is that where the discrepancy lies?
Just curious really, anyone else see this?
