Oil dipstick reading? Hey guys I just got my Ws.6 and I was checking the oil but on the dipstick it dosn't seem to tell you. I see where it says to add oil when its in the braided part but where does it say the full mark is? thanks
Top of the braided is full.
Do yourself a favor........next time you do an oil change. When you're ready to put the new oil in. Pour two quarts in right away. Then wipe the stick off and put it in. Then pour in quart #3. Wait 10 minutes for it to settle in the pan. Take the stick out and with a metal file, mark where 3 quarts is. Wipe it clean again and put the stick back in.....repeat that with quarts 4, 5 and 5 1/2.
Now you will know exactly how much oil is in there when you check it. I did this like 12 years ago on mine.
