R/T Oil Change Level Question

[cdc101]

Good evening, board...

Have an oil change question.

I just changed the oil in the R/T and put in the 6 quarts of 10w30 that the owners manual stated, and after I checked it, it was WAY over the cross hatched 'safe' area (yes, I ran it for a few minutes too).

I never looked at the dipstick to see where it was before I drained it to compare.

Anyone wanna go look at their dipstick on a 4.0 for me?

Thanks!

I know it wouldn't be very smart to only put the one value in the manual, but 6 quarts sounds like the "dry" engine amount (never had oil in it before). Given that, it's probably more like 4.5 or 5 quarts when doing an oil change, depending on how long you let it drain.
