I just finished my oil change and can't find the proper capacity??

Some say 5.9 quarts some say 6.4

I put in 5 quarts and checked the 'screen' for fill level and it shows "FULL" this can't be.

Is it 1.4 quarts low or .9 quarts low.

MADDENING....

It’s 5.9 quarts. Even with that said, I still pour the drained oil from the pan to an empty 5 quart jug, and the rest into a single quart bottle. This makes it easy to recycle at an auto parts store, and allows a basic eye sight measurement of oil drained. Of all the oil changes I’ve done on three SPA T6’s, the drained oil has always been within a couple tenths of the listed capacity.

The electronic dipstick allegedly takes some driving to accurately show the level. So it’s possible that you filled it 0.9 quarts low and the electronic dipstick isn’t accurate. I’d just stick to the user manual and fill it to the listed capacity then check periodically after driving trips.

It depends on which engine model is T6 or B6
T6 5,6 liters = 5,9 quarts
B6 6,1 liters = 6,4 quarts
