Changed the oil last week in my recently aquired 914-6, and consistent with other experiences on this car, something isn't quite right. this is an original 914-6 and still has the original oil tank, but it looks like someone made the dipstick by cut and weld from another car. Can someone tell me what the dimensions are from the top of the dipstick, where it nests in the oil tank, down to the 'full' and 'add' marks should be?

For what it is worth mine is exactly the same as phoenix 914-6's is on the link above AND has only one mark @ roughly 7" (a dot punched in it). For waht it is worth I have been able to put 15 qts in and not get a reading on my dipstick....? BUT next time I'll go more (yes with engine runiing @ idle etc!) I have AN 12 lines and a smaller than stock front oil oil cooler too.
