2.5L - How much oil? Engine feels a tiny bit slower?!
Well thanks to a suggestion on reddit I finally am able to use my dipstick. I have never had a problem on any other vehicle but on this car the dipstick flat out didnt give me usable measurements (not accurate or precise), my father also tried and had the same results. Now I leave the dipstick out for a few minutes then put it back in to get my reading. Using this technique I get repeatable results.
So now I used 5.21 quarts to reach the top of the dipstick. I do notice a very small decrease in performance, it is possible that it is in my head but I did notice it. I am sure a mechanic or someone who does not drive it everyday would never know, my father drove it the same morning and then after the oil change and said he did not notice a difference. Still I found this odd and thought I would ask you guys what you think?
