Default Odd request. Oil dipstick...

I was looking in the owners manual to figure out the oil capacity, which it says 6liters. I noticed in the book it had a pic of the V6 and V8 oil dipstick. And somehow my LS2 has the V6 CTS dipstick -_-

Can anyone measure their oil dipstick from the base of the handle, to the full mark? This one came out to 24 3/4" ill be pissed if this damn thing has been running low on oil all this time. I just got the car in January.

From reading another thread on Caddi Forums, the owners manual is wrong.

True. Unless that sensors not working, in which case you will find out in a very bad way. LOL
