Don’t do that.What about checking the oil right after i kill it? Its barely on the stick?
Light on is 2 qts. low, correct?
Yes, that is oil from the tube. Always choose the lowest reading that crosses the stick on either front or back side.I have a slight lack of confidence when I check mine. It seems as though there is always some oil along the edges of the dipstick that extend above the level shown going horizontally across the hatch marks. I guess this oil picked up in the tube?
These posts crack me up. Mr T put specific instructions on how to check to the oil in the owners manual, just follow those instructions instead of over complicating it and trying to get directions for checking oil on a forum.
Honestly, the oil sumps on these engines are well baffled, hold 2 gallons, and the oil pickup is pretty low. You could be 3 or 4 quarts low and not have a problem.
