DIY oil change mistake
I recently changed the oil on the 2009 3.0. Everything seemed to go well but I jacked the X5 up on one side and forgot to lower it while draining the oil. I finished and put in six quarts of oil. Started the engine and ran it for 5 minutes and checked the level. The level indicated maximum with one bar left to be lit.
Is this normal? Could one quart have been left inside because of the off level jacking? What should I do?
thank you for your help.
