I love that "I like pie" has gotten more votes than either of the other choices.

I put 7 qts w/ filter and mine shows over full mark. Quite a few tolerances can stack up to affect the dipstick reading. I trust the manual for the first fill and keep an eye on the level, but it doesn't move much between changes.

I miss oil changes for the Camry...3 quarts.

I could change the oil for about $12 including the filter.

Maybe if you'd done it more often, you'd still be driving it?
