I only got 4 quarts out with car horizontal.
The oil minder showed full.
It would appear that my oil minder doesn't work to show the at least 1 quart use.
If the drained and reinstall # is 7 quarts, that would mean I used 3 quarts in 4800 miles which would be ok, too.
I drove really hard on track and got up to 229 deg f, but could drive easy on eco pro, and see 234 deg f.
Over fill is a big no no since it will foam.
I think the oil capacity might be 7 quarts when filled new, but the oil cooler holds 2 quarts that won't drain.
