Welcome to JA! I am Carguy1 and I will assist you today.Hi there!How much oil did you put in the car? How many quarts?
i put in 4 and 1 in the filter
Where is the location of the dipstick you are checking?
in the front
Well the engine only holds 4.25 quarts of engine oil.It usually won't come to the fill line on the dipstick, but it will be on the dipstick.As long as you put it in up front, it should be fine. The boxer engine leaves oil in the heads that doesn't drain down into the crank. This is why it won't usually come up to the full mark on the dipstick.Also, new oil is very clean, so you might want to look closely.
