Just did the first oil change on my 22re 4Runner. Expected to be refilling with 4.5 qts. After ample time settling and turning over a few times, the dip stick reads well below the Low mark. Ended up putting the additional .5 qts in, level came up to the Low mark. Measured dip stick, 23.5", found that is standard on the forum. Checked that it's going in all the way, all good. So I bought another quart and that brought it to right at the Full mark. What gives? 6 qts? Is it possible that the PO put a deeper oil pan in? Thanks
