do a search on here. there has been threads in the past addressing this. I believe that the Dipsticks were marked wrong in some 03/04 models.

yeah i think 7 is a bit much. I would put 5 in, run the car for a short time. Then check the oil again.

...but if the dipstick is messed up...well thats just F-cked.
