I poured almost a full 6 qurts of engine oil in and the oil measure thingy still says ad!!! Regardless if warm or cold. Although the Low Oil light is off.
What now?
Frustrated

You add oil, but your dipstick doesn't show a higher level?!
My dipstick shows a wrong level when it's inserted in the wrong direction (when the "XXX"s point to the rear, i think, but this could be V6 specific), because when i pull it out some oil is wiped away.
You measured on flat ground and the dip stick was fully inserted? (just to be sure  )

lol, as far as I know it only hold 5.5 qts. Although, when I was in Virginia, I caught the dealer trying to charge me for 7 qts on two occasions. When confronted, he said must have been a typo. I bet they do it to poeple all the time, pissed me off cause we all know, synthetic oil ain't cheap

Make sure you're dealing with US quarts and not imperial quarts.
Oil have to go now. Mine doesn't use any oil - annoying eh?
