how do you figure out how many quarts of oil?
My cars previous owner installed the wrong length dipstick, My queston is how can the correct ammount of oil be determined? I have a plug on the top side of the tee pan if this helps. I need to install a new dipstick and mark it to the full oil level.. I had a strange mark on my dip stick and dident think much of it, when I got to thinking the guy I purchaced the car from said it would only go in one way or it will work its way back out. After installing my fresh motor I checked the oil level and noticed the mark was worse! so I took a new piece of welding rod and stuck it down into the oil tube until it bottemed out in the pan, After checking it's length against the dip stick I found out the dip stick was 6 inches too long and It must have bowed the dipstick into the rotating assembly!!  so any word on the correct way to procede would be appreciated.. thanks
