I got my car back from the shop a few days ago. The engine and trans were rebuilt. I decided to take a look at the oil level and see how clean it is.
Nothing shows up on the dipstick! The car has been sitting since saturday so the oil should be reading everything.
I added a quart of 10w40 and let it sit for a few minutes. It still doesn't show a drop on the end of the stick.
Here's a photo of the length of the stick and the level where it rests near the alternator. After I did this, I just checked my old photos and it looks like the dipstick used to sit much lower? See 3rd pic.
How the heck do I know if there's too much oil now or none?
