It was 10w40 and about 60 degree's The 5 qt jug was not completely full. A defect from the oil factory. I never thought that would happen and assumed it was 5 qts. ON the 440 dipstick I have the line at the top of FULL is 6 qts exact. When it reaches the line of ADD its 1 quart low. ABout the same distance again is right on the tip of the stick.
I let the truck sit 4 days thinking maybe cold oil needed to run down in the pan but it never did. The 5 qt jug was short.
It was a strange thing!
