Oil level...

Featured Replies

I admit that it is quite difficult for me to clearly see the oil level on the dipstick every time.

It usually gets all dirty when it is inserted, and in addition the space in which the level should be is pitch black and without any treatment to hold the oil and thus clearly show the level...

I wonder if anyone else has the same problem and if so, what they have done to deal with it...

Are you checking it both ways, stone cold before the engine is started to see plenty oil, & as required at Normal Operating Temperature after stopped a few minutes, so 4 or 5 and when the oil is at an indicated 90*oC or so? You can wipe the dipstick and then maybe a very light dusting if talc powder on the dipstick. I used to use french chalk on difficult dip sticks. Only a Tiny amount.

Try taking a photo with phone and then zoom in on it to try to see the wet/dry boundary.
