6.7 oil dip stick safe zone.

[hray]

Out of curiosity does anyone know the capacity that gets you from the bottom of the safe zone to the top of the safe zone on the dip stick? I searched but couldn't find a definitive answer. I change my oil ever 6 months which puts me at 13K +/- between oil changes and I'll be changing the oil later this month (12.5K currently). I checked my oil last night and its about 1/4 inch from the top of the safe line. When I change the oil it's right at the top of the line. I'm not concerned about it, just curious about the safe zone capacity. Thanks Hray.

I believe and please don’t hold me to this but if it’s at the add mark it takes 2 quarts to bring it up to the full mark. The truck holds 12 quarts so even at the add mark you still have plenty of oil left. LOL

Every time I change mine (2014) using 3 gal total (including filter pre-charge) I'm right between the marks. Are you doing 3 gal + filter?

Just 3 gallons total. I change my oil in my front drive way which has a slight downgrade. Puts the truck more level seeing how the back is higher than the front. Anyway that's where I always check it. For comparison I did check it at work in parking lot to confirm my 1/4" from top and at work it was halfway between marks. So that decline does make a difference of about a 1/4". No quite sure how level the work parking lot is though, more so than my drive way. Hray
