OK, don't laugh, I am having trouble seeing the oil on my dipstick when I check the oil. The dipstick is "gold" cad plated like a lot of parts on our cars. The oil is clean. I would like to be able to see it on the dipstick. Any suggestions? And yes, I put glasses on and it does not help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I often use a paper towel... lay the dipstick onto it and then see where the oil level was

QUOTE(brant @ Jul 15 2021, 08:21 AM)  I often use a paper towel... lay the dipstick onto it and then see where the oil level was Thanks Brant. That is what my son told me to do, and it works pretty good. Went from Exon Valdez oil spewing to more realistic oil use on the Rt 66. Clean oil is very good, but also hard to see. |
