Re: Oil level
There is not much info to go on, so, its all subjective.
Over all these years, one probably doesn't know if the correct dipstick is being used. Plus, a lot can depend on whats in the oil pan. If the oil pan is full of crap then the dipstick reading doesn't mean much.
If the oil pan [and dip tray] is clean and dry, add 4 qts of oil and check the dipstick. If the dipstick reads correctly, fine. If not, just mark it. Then add the 5th qt and check it and mark it again.
One needs a good reference to work from.
Since your engine is throwing out the oil and then maintaining the level, then thats probably where your engine wants the oil level to be. But, I would still prefer to know just exactly how much was in it.
