My concern is that when I did an oil change, I filled it up to the full dot. Now It is in the middle. Is this normal? I put in a tad more than 5 qts. Like 5.15 qts. Any feedback would be awesome! Thanks guys!
It is normal if you are driving the car or rev high most of the times. Mine 2010 does the same thing. Now, if I am driving normal with occasional hard driving, it will get to about 2000 miles when the reading is at the middle like yours. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck

Thank you man. I mean I just put the reccommended amount of oil so it should be in the middle right?
