Yes, Castrol 10/60 is bottled in liters, not quarts, but I double checked anyway.
I started checking the oil 45 seconds after shutdown and continued checking it until about 2 minutes and it is right at the bottom mark on the dipstick.
The oil was brand new and all the bottles were filled to the same level.
According to the manual there is 1.3 - 1.4 liters between the bottom and top marks on the dipstick so if I fill it to the top mark that would mean 6.5 - 7.0 liters. Seems to be a bit much.
I know it has 5.5 liters in it so I guess I will just drive it at the low mark.....
