I have never had a car that was so ridiculous when it comes to oil level. Obviously I am super **** about it due to the importance.... but its freakin tough to tell sometimes on BRAND NEW OIL after a change and after the car has been running for a bit.

After sitting, im a hair overfilled, and it is easier to read after sinking down to the pan. But I run it, check it, I cant frigging see it... the dipstick is wet but so clear and doesnt make a discernable line. Im sure its ok, but its not for a few hundred miles till I can check it with certainty. I have perfect vision, so jokes aside... I know I'm not crazy.

Anyway, I'm totally overanalyzing but it annoys me everytime I do an oil change.

know what sucks even worse???

Having the dipstick blowout underhigh boost and coat your engine bay in a oily mess!

 

This

 

that really sucks

 

sandblast or sand the dipstick. its a lot easier to see shiney clean oil against a dull background.

 

Get some glasses.

 

sanding the dip stick is a great idea

 

Even drilling little holes in the dip stick will work...the oil will stick in the holes. That makes it really easy.

 

sanding sounds like a great idea. will do that today thanks
