Dipstick Questions

It really does not matter. Even if you get the "right" dip stick, the tube holder could be in more or less than when it was put in at the factory.

What you need to do is change the oil and put a new filter on-pre fill it first, like always-and then add the rest of the 5 quarts of oil. Run the motor to seal the filter and after the motors off for a 1/2 hour or so-making sure the oil drains back in the pan.

Then check the oil level with the dip stick and where the oil line is, take a file and mark the dip stick. Thats your max oil level line. Not a bad idea to check all dip sticks like that. Just make sure you know how big the oil pan is. Some take 5 quarts, not 4 like the 318's.
