New to the forum, hope i put this in the right thread, did a search and cant find the answer for a
2013 ram sport with 5.7, oil question.
ive had it a few years, always drained the oil with a cold motor on a flat level surface. once it stopped dripping, i plugged it up and removed the filter. filled the filter, replaced the filter and then started filling the oil up top. this truck always has taken about 5 quarts (1.25 gallon) jug. the oil is filled inbetween the dots in the cross hatched area on the dipstick.
Recently found out that these things are supposed to have a 6-7quart capacity??
what am i missing? no alarms, no low oil light. oil psi is in the low 30s at idle, low 50s at operation.
any advice would be much appreciated.
