My 73 challenger has 10 quarts in the pan and two get pumped into the oil accumulator for the next engine start up cycle, leaving 8 in the pan which has a big baffle tray. That motor always cranks with about 20 psi before the first revolution - thanks to stored oil pressure.

Its oil, less is worse. Your fine. Wdy Enjoy

I had the "HI" indicator quite often in my Red Roadster, then someone on here suggested only putting in 8 quarts (it was Danimal). Since then, I never saw it come on again in the Red one. I continued this practice with my Graphite Roadster for the past 51,000 miles.
