had my oil changed in my 2012 ram truck 1500. the truck takes 7 qts..
in the morning when i checked the oil the day after the level was about 3/4 of a inch above the cross hairs (full level) on the stick. I thought it was to high so i took it back to the oil change place and they checked it after it was running for awhile and the level was exactly at the top of the cross hair (full level).
So my question is> when should the oil level be at the top of the cross hairs, (full level) when the truck has been sitting all night or is the proper reading when the truck has been running for awhile?
just don't want to much extra oil in it so no gaskets or anything blows.
thanks
It should be in your vehicle owners manual!
