It looks like my dipstick is WAY WAY off.

I'm finally paying attention to calibrating the dang thing.
I figured it was off, but wow....

I changed the oil, put on a new filter and new cooler lines.
I put in 4 quarts, checked. nothing on the dipstick.

put in 2 more, still nothing?
Run the engine, let it sit, no change.

1 more, ok it's up the add...
wait I have 2 extra quarts!

Rats, who was supposed to be counting?

So now that I have the oil filter full, should I drain 2 quarts and say thats full?
Or drain 3??

The dpistick calibration procedure I read used an empty filter and 5 quarts I believe.
