Changed oil on the 1330 today, bought a six qt. pan and proceeded to dump oil. Low and behold it filled the pan to within a 1/4" from the top. Measured in containers and it came out six qt.
The first change was done by a reputable dealer which tells me the dip stick is wrong. I put five qts. in and measured , on the dipstick hot it barely touched the add oil ball on the stick, cold only a 1/2" on the stick. I used a 2 two foot long plastic tie wrap measured about 3/4" longer then the stock stick in order to have some reference to how much is in the machine. With the recommended five qts. and a hundred mile ride all seems right .............
