I was wondering that myself i opened the hood yesterday and the sound went away. It scared me at first. With the chromes dealers do chrome exchanges all the time it's OEM they just send out the OEM wheels and for a few hundered they send chrome ones.

How many qt's do you guys use when doing oil changes? I find it kinda dumb that there's no dipstick - you rely on a sensor to tell you. What if the sensor goes bad.....

Anyway, owners manual says 9.0 qt's, but I've read 8 on here. Is there a possibility that when using the 2 bolts drain method there's some left over in the engine (1 qt?), causing the need to only fill 8 instead of 9?

Just want to see what others are doing.
