checking oil level?

Post by billybigspud »

hi all,
when checking the oil level, do you push the dipstick in all the way so it is sealed or just upto the seal? on a motorbike you only dip it back in and dont screw it back in so it got me thinking.

i push the dipstick all the way in - remove - wipe with rag - push firmly all the way in n read to see where it is between min and max marks on dipstick -
