Who needs a dipstick. Everytime you change your oil and filter just pour 5 quarts in and your set.

You better be kidding... Oil evaporates over time you know, expecially synthetic. You could be down a quart after 5,000 miles.

+1

At least it pulled out straight in the 3.5 in the Max. Still rubbed the entire way and was impossible to read though. lol

I also agree of the dipstick's poor design. However, after 3 years and maybe checking the oil a half dozen times, I have gotten used to it. It's actually an art, it's all in the wrist action...lol
