I have a recently purchased 2007 versa sl hatchback that is completely stock.
Today I went to change the oil for the first time with valvoline fuIl synthetic 5w 30w.
I read online that it takes 4 courts of oil and I had the 5.28 fill up jug. I poured in exactly 4 courts , waited, started the car and turned it off, waited some more and checked the levell
The level was at the L on the dipstick. Thinking maybe it needs a bit more I put in maybe half a quart and rechecked. still low. I did this until I finally got to the H but it took the entire 5.28 jug.
I checked and there are no leaks.
My only idea as to the cause is maybe the new oil runs so freely that it's leaking down the dipstick before I can pull it out fast enough, resulting in a lower reading ?
Any ideas?
