Ok..gotcha on that part.
How about the actual reading on the dipstick? Is it to be completely covered on both sides with oil? Right now I have oil on one side, along the edge that extends way past the max level. The tip has fluid on it (no bubbles), but like I said only half the d/s has fluid on it. If I add or remove 2-4 ozs, it dramatically changes the level, never any where close to where its supposed to be.
I'm guessing it's still low, but I've got more than 6 qts in it now.
