Good answer, Sir.[/quote]
You are wandering way off-subject. You're not considering the rainwater on the dipstick...........dipstick.

now the engine has the right amount of oil . is it time to check the rear differential ?

That is all new an new seals

They're not new anymore. You don't trust the repair shop do you?

then the pickup is all good now.

I heard most repair shop employees had once washed out in the street repair biz

You can spray the dipstick down with brakeclean then use super glue and a strip of a bean can to extend it if it does not reach the oil.

Can't get to where usally check at in carport an impossible get same reading elsewhere as anywhere go that can check easily , not perfect level, I add oil twice in around 500 miles, since change, 1/4 once an 1/4 just bfore, if 1/4 or more over full , does it make a big difference ? What is most overfull u wanna fill motor ?

as long as you are between the dots or in the cross hatched area you are fine.

most any gas station should be level enough to check you don't need to be perfectly level

You park on a hill at work???? Check it there.

Lot gas stations are not level , at work not , usally wait 20 min an check carport , that idea is gone, maybe for good,maybe no more driveway ever, rip it out an const only replace other ?

Here we go again.......


I don't know of a gas station that ISN'T level. Ask city clerk and construction workers where they check their oil.

I thought your oil leaked out all over the place , why not just overfill by a quart or two ?

Every gas station I know of around here is not level an if push clutch in u roll at most, the ones are not grade are not level, got get gas tonite but close from work an motor not warm enough check, ask city ? What ? I don't talk them an if got to, it not go be good at all, talk nice such trash with bill? They just think I push over punk an laugh, who knows what they do with money they try get, try sale pitch earlier, give us 5 grand an we won't go max interest , probly head casino with cash if get some from me

Prolly so..

Yeah, I agree

make sure you rotate your tires every oil change as well . Because if for example on a rear wheel drive car the rear tires get worn more than the front ones, your car will not sit perfectly level and the dipstick may notice that.

Having said that, there in an easy way to offset all of that using 4 hydraulic jacks and a machine spirit level

Just to add to that, second hand car dealers are seldom on the level as well. Keep that in mind

I am sure that I'll find more useful tips like these as the of the liquid in the bottle in front of me gets lower. Did ya know, that Irish whiskey is a lot harder to see on a dipstick than engine oil ???

Learned something new, the only level place in Dubuque county is under coonman's carport. That's good info eight there. No one else must check their oil.
Did I understand right you put in a half qt of oil in in 500 miles and you did it at 1/4 of a quart at a time?
