05 RK oil level ? sorry
I changed all fluids for the first time today [just bought the bike] so bare with me.
Everything was changed by way of the owners manual, I haven't gotten a service manual yet.
Manual says 3.5 qt for motor. Check on jiffy stand. After filling, dip stick read at half, right where it should be cold.
After riding I let it set an cool [I know I should have checked it hot also] and checked again. Then it read low.
Does the owners manual take into acount the oil filter amount?
It looks like it may take several more oz. But don't want to over fill.
Has anyone else found this?
Thanks
BTW. Tried to find this in the search. No luck.

It doesn't "screw" down. The oil fill/dipstick is a rubber "plug". Make sure it's pushed all the way in.
On my 2005 Electra Glide, full hot comes out to half cold.
Don't overthink it. If you put 3.5 quarts in, you're good to go.
Oh yeah...Invest in a service manual. I do little more than change my own fluids, but "speak the language" much better after purchasing the manual.
