a while ago i changed my oil w/ synthetic penzoil. and it showed that the oil was the right amount. But today when i checked it, it said it has double the oil???? Can anyone help with this?

 

did you check it after you drove it?

 

Our car's dipsticks are hard to read when doing an oil change or when the engine is warmed up. The oil has to drain back down to the pan to get an accurate reading. It's best to check it when cold, like first thing in the morning.

How much oil did you put in? I believe it's around 4.25 quarts...someone else will confirm I'm sure.

 

Cold on a level ground. Kinda picky

 

if u drained all the old oil out and put around 4.25 to 4.5 quarts then ur ok theres no way u have double unless u checked ur oil with the engine running or something then it'll soak the dipstick and give u the wrong reading

 

ohh yeahhh ur rightt. lol i checked it with the engine running. thanks alot guys!

 

The VQ Dipstick is a Tricky Thing.

 

+1 on checking the oil level in the next morning after the oil change day(before you turn the car on)...would be the most accurate
