Checking And Adding Oil

[Ramit392]

When checking Oil On the new Ram I-6 where exactly is full on the gauge? Is it at the very top where the red mark begins? Is it at where at the lowest point of red mark stops at the full mark of the gauge begins to end the red mark? From very beginning to end on the gauge, is that one quart? The owner's manual tells you all about where the gauge is and to expect the motor to use some oil during break in, but does not explain how to read the gauge. It does not explain the red marks at full and end of the gauge at all. Leaving a complete mystery to know what usage has taken place from gauge measurements as to where should you add oil or how much?LOL.

Not surprised, not having a dipstick has to be one of the dumbest things manufactures have done.

Well it's not so bad being dumb for what they did....but at least tell us how to read their dumb idea would help some...lol.

Think I read the bottom bar is down a quart so each tick mark is 1/4 quart. Max is the last line before the final red section of the guage.

Thank you. Thank now makes sense why the red line at the top and bottom of the gauge. Do not go into the red line and if you do while adding oil do not allow oil very far at all into the red line, or you are too high on oil level. Same when and if you allow yours to go low on oil before adding to long before you add do not allow very far in red part at all go get oil for it.....GOT IT! Assuming I have this understood correctly.
