Well I get frustrated trying to get the right oil level. First I find if
the Van has been running I have to take several readings just to get the
excess oil out of the dip stick tube so that I can get an unsmeared
reading. Okay, I can deal with that. Best to take a reading before starting
it up in the morning.
But even then I get two different readings depending on weather I look at
the top or the bottom of the dip stick. Right now, after changing my oil,
the top of the dip stick is slightly above the lower mark while the bottom
of the dip stick is above the upper mark, at the twist in the metal. So
which is right?
