Dipsticks

[Mick Ralph]

This is gonna sound funny but on my L2.0 in the 510 (ie L16 sump)  my dipstick reads differently on each side. Its got nothing to do with my age or eyesight either... hehe the reading varies by 5mm from one side to the other.. This is not usually a big problem but i have noticed that it is very touchy in getting the right mix of enough and not too much oil in the engine.. the last 5 mm when i am filling up the oil is disproportionate to the lower levels on the stick to the extent that when i get to about 5mm below the line i have to really slow down the oil or it overfills by 10mm on the line but i'm more interested in ideas about why i would get a different reading on each side of the dipstick.. any ideas ?? cheers mick --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
