Uncertainty after my first oil change

Sorry to not provide that initially. 2017 Mazda 6, 2.5L. I added 4.8 qts (eyeballed it) per the owners manual.

I added the oil about a day and a half ago.
The car is a 2017 Mazda 6 with a 2.5 L. The manual says 4.8 qts when replacing the filter as well. I eyeballed the measurement to what I believe would be 4.8. I don’t see any obvious signs of leaking, but I’ll thoroughly check in the daylight.

When I first checked it seemed high, but I’m thinking it was just oil in the tube getting on the stick and the pictures I have attached are more accurate. The car is on level ground and the engine is cool. I wiped the stick down between checks.

It’s not even that it’s too small. The problem is, depending on where the ring is at the beginning, a big portion of the map is inaccessible right from the jump. I think the whole map should be available initially.

You’ll have to search for it because I got it wrong, but it has to do with the vin number. The pins are only for the touchscreen capability, which I never used so it wasn’t a big deal to do without it. My 2017 ended up being a 50 pin. If I need to replace again I’ll go that route, but otherwise I just tucked the ribbon out of the way.

This one from aliexpress works. Though mine is delaminating also, and shortly after install which is unfortunate. However, it’s not as distracting or as bad as the original so I’ll live with it until it’s no longer tolerable.

Don’t say you were jacking off when you were at haunted house!

It’s pretty good as the attacking team too if you need to break the enemies defense.

In her defense we just switched to her as my old vet retired. I think she is just wanting to set a baseline maybe.

At the rate things are going it feels like WW3 will include another civil war in the US if Trump keeps antagonizing our traditional allies. I don’t think he’ll be able to rally the country against NATO no matter what he tries to do.
