Just did my 1500 mile first oil change today.

**CAUTION**

Adding the full 7 quarts after draining and filter change could result in overfilling!

My oil change shop asked how much I wanted to put in and I almost said all 7 quarts, then changed my mind since there is no dipstick, and said put in only 6 quarts and I'll check it when I get home. I am so glad I didn't add the full 7. After following the check oil instructions on page 116, (it took 3 minutes to get a reading) the oil level was exactly at the MAX mark. Had I added 7 instead of 6 quarts it would have been severely overfilled.
