I just checked my oil and it got me to thinking, I'm not even sure exactly where the correct level is on this stick. I guess I've gotten too use to newer dipsticks that have hash marks at the low, high, and sometimes even quarter full. Anyway, I checked it at the gas station just to make sure all was okie-dokie, and the oil level was about half way (or so, but not less) between the bottom of the dipstick and the lowest part of the FULL engraving on the stick. I live on, and have to park on, a hill with a 5 degree slope, so getting an accurate reading there is impossible. As a matter of fact, I went out just now to check it and maybe get a picture to post, and the oil now almost completely covers the FULL mark. Last time I changed the oil I meant to make a note down at the gas station, but I forgot to remember that, as usual. So, where is the 'usual' correct spot for full, but not over full, on my engine. I don't want to add oil if it doesn't need it, but on the other hand...
