To calibrate the dipstick, all you need to do is;
Fill the pan to it's capacity which in your case is 7QTS
Thread the dipstick into the pan (pull the dipstick and check for
oil level)
If no
oil level is found, remove dipstick from tube and use a tubing cutter to remove 1/4" from the top at each interval
Once you are comfortable with where the full line is, the dipstick is calibrated.

If this is the case, what is the service fill after changing the
oil?
I thought the quoted pan capacity was meant to be the service fill volume to have the correct level AFTER changing the oil, otherwise how does one know what the service fill is?
