Does anybody else have a problem with the dipstick, it seems like i cant get a consistent reading. Ill pull it once and it will say full, pull it again and it says low.
is there a trick to the dipstick?

 

iono but i pull it out once, wipe it, put it back in wait 5-10 seconds, pull it back out and read.

 

yeah mines been a bitch, im pretty anal about my car and dont wanna run it low, or to high for that matter

 

Happens all the time, usually the more you do it the more incosistent it gets since your getting oil on the walls of the tube the dipstick goes in to. The best time to get an accurate reading is when the engine is cold, and try to read the side that faces the drivers side.

 

alright ill try when its cold, do you know how much oil the car will hold?
I can use the search bar just wondering if you know off hand

 

5.1 All of the x's from bottom to top (L to H) represent one quart, as long as your oil level is in between any of those X's then your fine. Never let it get below the L lines which means you have 4 or less quarts. Check it every morning before you start driving the car as AP1s are more prone to consume oil (mine does)

 

alright thanks for the info

 

After owning a 350z the s2k dipstick is a masterpiece!

 

hah, really? i hate that car

 

That's what he just said!
