I cant read the dipstick

so I just put the whole 4.73 quarts from the walmart jug in


should I be okay?

 

why cant you read the dip stick?

 

the dipsticks in these cars suck, if u wanna get a decent reading you gotta wait like 10 mins after pouring the oil. im sure your pretty good but the car should have 5qts. in it.

 

its my first time reading a dipstick lol

is there a wiki or doc on the net for reading these dipsticks?

thanks joker

looks like the oil is just barely touching the H mark

 

Congrads

 

well i kind of messed up by using a Fram tough guard oil filter

i forgot to research filters

 

i just checked oil again this morning
the oil is covering the H mark now no higher, ( i checked a couple times and got this result)

is it okay if its just a little too high?

 

If you wanna get a good reading with the dipstick check your reading in the morning when the car is cooled and not been started it's very easy to read at that time. I believe you meant 5 quartz and 4.73L thats what it says on the jug. You should be fine if you put the whole jug in. Next time use mobile 1 oil and mobil 1 filter if you want your car to last longer. I always use Mobil 1 extended performance oil and filter costs like few bucks more than the mobil 1 original.

 

mobil 1 is not full syn.

Castro FTW.

 

Good for you, Detroit. DIY FTW.

 

because if you use a regular conventional oil, your car will not last as long right? :eeps:

 

Castrol isn't either unless you get the German Castrol.

 

tell you the truth Im not sure if Castro syn is full or not, but I still prefer it over mobil 1.

but German oil is what I meant to post at first.
