Subject:      Tiico--Dip Stick Question(oil levels)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Im still a little confused as to whats MY Tiico's
proper oil level, since my dip stick is hard to read
(with translucent, clean oil), and "full" always been
way above the cross-hatch marks.....more like up-over
the coil thats wrapped around the dipstick.


Question: If  drain my engine for a half hour then
dump exactly 4.73 QUarts of oil in it, i should be
OK...right? Last oil change I marked the levels on the
dipstick at 2.5 quarts, and another for 4 quarts(for
me its 1/8th inch above spring/coil wire) I guess what
im asking is how much oil is usually still in the
engine after leting it drain for 1/2 hour?....should
this amount be subtracted from 4.75 quarts to be added
or am i being too anal here?


THanks
