Slant 6 oil pressure woes…

To answer your question, I can’t really tell. Every time I stick the dipstick in and pull it out, I get an oily residue on the stick, but nothing that drips off the end. When I wipe the residue off on my fingers, it appears clear but has some traces of black in it. It feels oily. But that’s about all I can tell you.
So you cannot read the level?
