Went out to tinker on the car and thought, hey, I have a new dip stick to replace the piece of piano wire that was in the tank. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
Pulled out the wire and tried to get the dip stick in. Is it supposed to just slide in nice and easy? There seems to be a couple of bends it needs to make that makes it bind up. Didn't want to screw it up so I backed off. Also, what should the oil level be when completely cold? I know it's supposed to be checked when the motor is running and warm but shouldn't it register at least some? |

Running, oil HOT and thermostat open on LEVEL ground.....seeing oil on the stick is good...too much and you kill bugs when it gets sucked into the intake......remember you got almost 12 quarts in the system....you'll notice if you loose it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
