6.08 Quarts My A??

[Bighat]

This is the second time I changed my oil. It was a few weeks back. Just like the first time 6.1 quarts. Do the warmup to check and it's just at the bottom of the stick. I can't remember, but I think I added about 8 more oz's until it read full. Weather was hot outside. Checked the machine for several days and it read full. I'm not sure Honda didn't misprint this in the manual. My Ford 250 manual called for 15 qts of oil which was a misprint because 13qts is full.

I noticed that too when I did mine. It is more than 6.1

When u checked it, did u screw the dip stick ALL the way in
( NoQueer) to check it? If u dont, it will be wrong

I did both ways…on the rim and twisted all the way in (NOMO). It just barely read when screwed in.

Yours is definitely low if it was screwed all the way in.

It was 6.1 too. Made me curious.

No. It did it on the first oil change too. When I get enough oil in it, it checks fine. I've drove it and check it, warmed it up like the manual says check it. Mine takes more oil to hit the full mark.

OK 6.08 with engine oil filter change only. That's what the manual says I believe.
Fill the crankcase with the recommended oil, approximately:
engine oil filter change: 6.08 US qt (5.75 l)
engine & DCT oil filters change: 6.1 US qt (5.8 l)

It does. That’s why I was curious

The manual says and so does the oil change thread on here dad you have to check it By screwing the dipstick all the way in or else you will overfill it

I've been changing oil in equipment for over 45 years. After adding enough oil, you can check it everyday and it's on the money. The first oil change I put the recommended amount in and started driving. I park it on the carpot on new concrete, so I would notice a leak because I always look under a machine before I start it. Even it I don't check the dip stick. When I did check it again I noticed how low it was. Guess how low? Right where it was on the second oil change when I filled it to what the manual said. I started a post on it, and then I put oil in it and over filled. I though the machine was using oil. Maybe still breaking in. Not so, the recommended amount will not fill this machine if you check it as the manual says. Like I said before, after the second oil change and adding more oil the machine checks correct on fill.

Honda's oil checking procedure has got to be the most retarded thing ever.

Here's what my manual says:
5. Insert the dipstick without screwing it in, then remove the
dipstick and check the oil level. The oil level should be between
the upper level mark and the lower level mark on the dipstick.

Agreed

This is a 2021 model. Like I said above, the manual for the 2017 Ford F250 said 15 when only 13 was needed. Mabye Honda has a misprint. Hey, maybe the misprint is about screwing the dip stick in. I checked the forum before posting and I seen others with the same problem.

Never heard this before. I thought you don't screw it in

Stop yelling! 😂 🤣 🥳

I'm confused, I've changed the oil on our P1 7 or 8 times, always put 6 quarts back in and checked it after the procedure and it's always perfect?

It's beer night here.

Just talking loud. Plus I'm half deaf.
