Hey Guys,
I feel kinda of dumb for asking this....but I need some advice here. I have a 07 Outback V, with the Assault 325 motor and Im doing the oil changes myself. The manual says that that motor takes 5.5 Qts, with filter change or to dipstick level. I added 4.5 quarts and fired it up on the driveway and the dipstick reads off the dots (after it settled), with the oil pressure gauge showing about 70PSI (while running). It seems to get the PSI down and the dipstick within dot range Id should have only added 3.5 quarts, 2 quarts less than the manual? Which seems totally incorrect.
Is this normal, how much oil are you guys adding? What is a "normal" oil PSI?

Sorry for the dumb question, this has my OCD spinning! I wish they just said add 5.5 and forgot about it....

Thanks!
