I have a 427 Side Oiler and the last
oil change was about 1k miles ago when I purchased it. I noticed a fair amount of
oil on the floor (I believe it's an
oil pan gasket that needs to be replaced), So I checked the oil, and it appeared low. Oil was at the first mark. Indicating the oil was very low. I added a quart of oil, and the oil now appears as indicated in the pictures below. Now, I would think this would suggest that I'm only half way there, but where it gets tricky, is the other side of the dipstick says: "OIL CHECK OIL THIS SIDE UP"
The Red line in the first picture indicates where the oil mark is on the opposite side. So, am I slightly overfilled ~12oz? Or do I still need to add? I have NOT started the engine yet, and I don't plan to until I know if I overfilled it or not.
The images don't appear to be working.
