| Re: dipstick calibration
Ben
I would consider your statement to be correct. Thinking about it from the top hole that the dip stick goes through - lenght of dip stick from there to top level of oil should remain a constant. So if your dip stick "sits" on the seal at the top then this level should be correct - The lower level could change if you want to calibrate for a quart or whatever but surely most people now have a large container and top up until the max level is reached.
Sorry can't resist
Blond walks into a parts department and asks for a new dip stick - needs to be longer than this she says as this doesn't reach the oil!
Oh well at least I apologised first
