Default Re: dipstick read & "oil high" notice in the odometer in v-6 engine

I'd like to suggest 8 quarts and not 8.5 - all three Roadsters I've owned have given me high oil alarms on 8.5 quart fills.

No, not if I drive like my grandmother -but if I enjoy the car in the curves, 8.5 quarts triggers the high oil alarm. I put over 70,000 miles on the Graphite and never saw the high oil alarm after my first 8 quart change.
