First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... If your car does not leak or burn, and you fill it the change with the correct amount, why worry ?
Just mark on you dip stick where the new full is and move on. I had the same issue with a motor I did in the past and that's what I did -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of D Dutch Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 11:17 AM To: First Generation Firebird-L Subject: [FGF] Oil Level Indicator (Dipstick) - 68 Firebird 400 First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ........................................................................ . Anybody have inaccurate reading on their dipsticks? The oil level indicated that it was about a quart overfilled. (So I thought previous owner overfilled as i just got this bird on 8/20). I drained all the oil (did NOT change filter) and put 5 quarts back in (book said 5 and 6 if changing filter as well). But the indicator still reads over full by about a quart. I checked illustrated parts manual and it looks like the right dipstick. Anyone have a picture of theirs as well as maybe a pic of the engine where the indicator tube is so i can see if the stick is wrong or the tube was replaced with the incorrect length. Thanks!
