Ok so I can pull the dipstick out and wipe it off and stick it back in and the oil only shows on the backside of the dipstick and is dry on the other. My buddy said it's because the oil gets wiped off by the dipstick tube. Makes sense I suppose since it's hard to get back in. Anyone have any thoughts? I seem to get the most accurate reading the first time I pull it out and check it. I always check with the engine running in neutral. Supposed to check with it at 180 degrees but that's hard since the temp only gets up to about 130-140 due to it always being around 50-60 degrees outside.
