Default dip stick has no marks
My dip stick has no marks for oil level, it has a round thumbpiece on it so it looks like its an original but there are no marks at all?
Can someone tell me how far down from the stop the full mark is please??
My 'heads-up' oil light is on but I hate to dump a bunch of oil in it without knowing the oil level.
Thanks, DickC
