4 quarts not enough oil?
Hey everyone. Just changed my oil in my 114 fat bob. Put 4 quarts in ran the motor for 2 mins+ for the “hot” oil check. Dip stick was bone dry. Added about 10 more OZ. Still nothing on the dip stick have to go out and get another quart to see if i can get a reading. Any one else put over 4 quarts in. The bike hold 5 quart dry correct?

Service manual (a handy thing to have when servicing your bike) says total oil capacity with filter is 5 qts. Change procedure is initial fill of 4qts. then fill to proper dipstick level.
I like half way on dipstick when hot. Keeps carryover through breathers to a minimum.
