Quick Question

When you need to add a quart of oil, what does the dipstick read. Mine says about 1/3 betwen the lines, and I want to know if a whole quart will fit, or will it overflow?

I suggest adding 1/2 quart and checking the dipstick again. According to the manual, 1.8 qts between L & H marks on dipstick.

Check out the following TSB and it should give you some idea of how much oil to add. This is the new dip stick for the '05's, but it probably applies to the '04's as well.
