Oil Change Question
When changing the oil (and filter) on a 2005 Dyna Super Glide, what is the proper amount of oil to put in? I assume it's 2.5 from what I've read and that's what I put in. I checked it cold on the jiffy stand and it was just about up to the full hot mark. Then I went for a short ride to warm the engine up, pulled the dipstick and it was about half way up the full hot mark...this was also done resting on the stand. I thought it would have went the other way....reading higher when hot (or at least warm). Thanks,

The dipstick will tell the actual correct level.
Went down in this case,
cause the oil filter absorbed some after startup.
