there is an oil dipstick open the hood its on the left side. its got a yellow handle. if you wanna check your oil park on flat surface pull out the stick let it chill for 5 minutes or else the oil won't be properly displayed on the dipstick. Then put it in and pull it out, wiping it beforehand. SPeaking of dipsticks.. I think I bent mine.. I put in the 6.6 liters and it's between the min and max marks.. could someone do a huge favour and measure it from beginning to end so I can hammer it out until it's the same size.

Yeah, engine off and the car level. Otherwise, the oil will be running through the motor and you'll get a lower reading than it actually is.
