My cars previous owner installed the wrong length dipstick, My queston is how can the correct ammount of
oil be determined? I have a plug on the top side of the tee pan if this helps. I need to install a new dipstick and mark it to the full
oil level.. I had a strange mark on my dip stick and dident think much of it, when I got to thinking the guy I purchaced the car from said it would only go in one way or it will work its way back out. After installing my fresh motor I checked the
oil level and noticed the mark was worse! so I took a new piece of welding rod and stuck it down into the oil tube until it bottemed out in the pan, After checking it's length against the dip stick I found out the dip stick was 6 inches too long and It must have bowed the dipstick into the rotating assembly!!
so any word on the correct way to procede would be appreciated.. thanks
