Oil Dip Stick
When checking the engine oil (warm engine, waited 15 minutes) and the dip stick shows oil at the bottom of the hash mark, where it says "add", does that mean to add one quart? Or do you add oil incrementally until it reads at the top of the hash mark? The reason I asked, I added a quart and it appears to be slightly over the full mark

You'll be fine. I add one quart when the oil is at that level.
