    Did my first oil change, and added 5 pints of new oil, but can't find the "high" level on the oil window. Looks like the oil level comes about halfway up the window, and oil pressure light is not on, but curious to know if I actually have the right level of oil. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    bill

    There should be a "high" and a "low" notch next to the sightglass.. As long as you're somewhere in between, you're ok.

    My 650 didn't have the marks either.

    The light isn't pressure - it's oil level.

    I like to fill them almost to the top of the window.
