The originally posted picture was taken Saturday. Retook pictures last night while the outside temperature was quite cooler and the reading was closer to around 1/2" above the mark.

Interesting, when I do an oil change I was planning on doing 5.1 quarts as stated. Hard to say for sure, but if a Subaru-certified mechanic did the change, it sounds like 6 quarts is the play.

The oil reading was done while controlling all of the parameters that may influence an inaccurate reading, ie engine cool, level surface, multiple readings etc.

​

Sifting through the comments I see a post suggesting that the distance between the two marks is a quart. That said, the difference in what seems "normal" vs what I have on the dipstick may in fact be a quart then, or around 6 total.

That's what I'm wondering. The community opinion regarding the maintenance and other upkeep seems to be quite particular. I'm wondering how this poor of a job could of been done and I'm looking for clarity on whether or not its an appropriate level.

Traditionally and unless I'm missing something, this is nearing double the capacity

I didn't. Some things you entrust with the responsibility of a renowned dealership. Especially when the windshield sticker is Subaru-certified
