Ok, I changed the fluid, installed the new magnetic plug from FCP, drop it and refill with oil and after 5 qts I still hardly registered, so I added the other 3/4 of the 6th qt, the first few ounces went to the oil filter and I still need about a 1/4qt. or so to be exactly full, does this ring true with others ? I thought 6qts would do it all but it didnt' ! Also found some sort of oil leak turbo wise, the TO or RETURN line, couldn't really reach it all to wipe and clean it all off but it was just in a shop and I told them to check for a leak and trhey said nadda, they did good work huh, after scratching up my car too on the first trip ! I wont be going back needless to say ! Also I found the drain plug for the tranny fluid but , I feel retarded but, where do I add new juice back in w/o a dipstick ? forgive me...

6 qts should do it... hrmm.. is the oil return line leaking? that gasket can get brittle over time and leak.

Yeah I gotta a leak in one of the 2 lines the dart straight up to the turbo, didn't know which was which just looking up at it from underneath but I still have more fluids to change first before I get to that, well depending how much oil Im loosing, I gotta play in there more !

Sort of under the intake hose from the front grill to the air filter box....deep down....small yellow handle. It's there...just look deeper.

On my 98 V70 XC I put about 1/2 a quart in the Mann filter and put the other 5 1/2 qts. in the engine. After the first start it is about half way between full and low. So, I could add another 1/2 qt. but never do. My engine has no leaks and maintains about the same level until the next oil change.

Yeah , its a small yellow circular shaped handle thing ? Its before the manafolds, and a little below to the left.

[josh_S70GLT]

the oil dipstick is orange on mine, tranny dipstick is yellow though

[Socal]

the trany dipstick is crazy hard to get to with the turbo piping in the way, and I have pretty small hands. It's underneath the piping running from the top of the intercooler to the throttlebody.
