First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Do you know anybody else w a bird? You can boorow and test his/her dipstick to verify yours? But if you filled the correct amount of oil and it shows too low, just make a mark there as being full, use a hacksaw or such to make your ne mark, put an / across whats there...
a dipstick is $14 from Ames (plus shipping) otherwise.

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!
