I did my first oil change since I recently bought my 409. The shop manual and everything I have read said to put in 4 qts. plus 1 qt for the filter. I changed the filter too so I put in 5 qts.. However the oil just shows up on the tip of the dipstick, well below the add line. I thought maybe someone had switched the dipstick to an incorrect one so I purchased a new 409 dipstick from Ecklers. It came today and after switching them I found that the oil still just shows up on the tip????? The one that was in there had a pointed end and the new one has a flat, square end but both are showing that I am a qt or qt and a half low????? I haven't lost any oil and my first check was a couple hours after changing it. What could the problem be????? THANX JIM
