    I just did an oil change with a new filter.....spec says 2liter capacity. I filled her with 2liters, but it only just barely registered at the MIN mark on the bitter end of the dipstick.

    Is this normal? Will it register higher with some miles? On my last oil chane from the dealer, the dipstick was reading at MAX the whole time, even after 2000 miles on the change.

    I don't want to run on too low of oil but I really don't want to overfill.

    What's happening with y'all?

    Edit:I made a more detailed post of my exact procedure for the change and level check in the "oil change drama thread, but I feel like that thread doesn't get much traffic anymore....but please see that if you want more detail of what I might have done wrong.
