2004 Suzuki Vinson Oil Level Sight Glass

[tds7]

I just got a 04 Suzuki Vinson, changed the oil and done other service work. My main question is about the crankcase oil capacity, Owners manual states 3.8 quarts with filter change, but it completely fills the sight glass. It was like that before I changed the oil and filter but it had over 4 quarts of oil in it. Is it supposed to be like that?

Does anyone know if 3.8 quarts is correct and is it supposed to completely fill sight glass when it running or engine is off?

I would feel safe trusting the manual, but if you want to be sure, call a dealership and speak with a service tech.

if it's like my 250 quadrunner there should be 2 marks on the casting on each side of the sight glass the oil level should be between the high and low marks.when warmed up and not running hope this helps

Thanks to all,

My sight glass is completely full when engine is off and I can just see a bubble in the top of it while it is running. But I can also see the oil surging through it while it is running.

The reason I asked the question was, I also have a 03 Suzuki XL7 and their was a few incorrect fluid capacities in the owners manual. Just making sure.
