Kari, on mine the oil will run along one side of the stick or the other, but the level is where it crosses and wets the whole surface of the stick. It's a minor pain but not in the "can't tell" class. If you have oil on the side(s) and none wetting the full stick, I bet your oil is too low to register. If that's not what you mean, could there be some paper towel or something in the dip tube, smearing things? d At 01:01 4/2/99 -0500, you wrote: >when i try to check the oil level, i pull the dip stick thing out, wipe it David Beierl - dbeierl@ibm.net |
