Why would you not change the filter if you saw particles in the oil. later RJDMine, when new, was about 3/4 up. Just changed oil, not filter, put in 7qts and it’s same as yours. Think of that as dip stick showing up at “full”. I’ll probably do 7qts again with new filter and it’ll be a little below that. Manual says capacity is 7.5 qts
Cuz that’s what a filter is for and only 500 miles + location and not having appropriate filter wrench to get it off with factory 200’ lbs torque on there. I’m gonna change it again in about 2500 miles- waaaaay less than most who will wait for their free oil change at 7000+. I mean 3,000 miles is no where near excessive for a filterWhy would you not change the filter if you saw particles in the oil. later RJD
