Im so confused. Ive just done my first oil change on my 2012 Ram 1500 4.7L . The manual says fill it with 5.7 l / 6qrts of oil. I emptied the old oil. removed the filter and refilled with the correct oil using 5.7L of oil. 2 things. Firstly, the old oil that came out was less than half of what i put in.the truck was running noisy and the "change oil" msg was on. However, maybe only 2.5L of oil came out. Also after very cearfully adding 5.7L of new oil its really over full. by a LOT. what coud i have done wrong. I emptied the old oil, i removed the filler cap so it can drain. i let it drain for 15 mins until it was dripping at maybe 1 drip per second. Ive made a mistake. but it is not the amount of oil i put in. any thoughts?
