My 04.5 Sp600 reads the same way when the full "2 quarts" is put in at an oil change. I also drained and measured the amount it took to put the level at the top of the safe zone; about 8 ounces. So it's closer to 1.75 quarts or 1 3/4 quarts than it is to 2. In other words, 1 quart and 24 ounces approx. Seems lame for the owners manual and all the other literature to be 8 ounces off.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Seems to be over the full mark with 2 quarts.

Well you learn something new everyday. I did check the manual and you are exactly right. It appears that the oil I removed from the crankcase is coolant free so I will put it back in and check the oil level using the "Manual Instructions on checking oil".

doesn't make sense to start an engine first before checking the oil. You are checking the oil to prevent engine damage in the event there is not enough. If oil is supposed to be warm when checked then there would be a "hot" and a "cold" reading on the stick. Mine always reads the same regardless of temperature. Also doesn't make sense that the marks on the dipstick are pretty much useless with the "2 quart" theory. I'm sticking with the dipstick until someone from Polaris Engineering tells me to do otherwise.
