After careful experimentation, it appears the between high and low on the dipstick is approx 1qt. Found out while adding .75 qts this evening, and both sides of the dipstick even showed the same level.

 

Good post! Yeah, mine was at the low mark too last week. I kept adding oil until it was at the high mark, which turned out to be about a quart maybe a tad more

You are just figuring this out? Almost all cars are this way.

 

What type and grade oil are you using, and is this being added to the original factory break-in oil?

Asking because my oil level is slowly going down and will most likey need to top-off prior to first sevice.

 

For me, I have 10,500 miles. Changed to Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W-30 at 2nd change, 7500 miles. When I looked at the oil last Friday, it was at the low mark so I added a quart. I will be taking it in for the 3rd oil change next week
