Oil Dipstick

[SlvrSnake]

Just a general gripe. Anyone find the dipstick a royal pain to read when changing the oil? I honestly can not ever get a good reading I am comfortable with on that damn thing. One side shows oil up to the mark the other doesn't, uggghhh!! Usually put in whats needed (8.5 qts w/ filter) and wait a day then check it again to see if it looks right.

Any after market ones available that work better? Just curious.

Have the same problem. I think the dipstick is scraping up against and picking up oil on the tube to give you a higher reading. I go off the lower reading.

Me too I must pull the dipstick out 5 or 6 times before I feel like I get a good reading.

I guess I am glad that other people are having trouble. I thought I was the only dipstick!

Lol I have the same problem, usually it reads full on one side, and empty on the other. I don't know what to do, but after a bit I can't add any more so I assume its full
