Should I add oil to the full line or check it again next week to see if the level drops from its present location?
I previously had a Forester that required periodic topping of oil during extended drain intervals.
In order to know where your full mark is on the dipstick, change the oil and filter - put in the correct amount in your owners manual, then see where the oil mark ends on your dipstick.
That will be your full mark for future reference.
