<VV> PG Dipsticks

[J R Read_HML]

Tim,

I don't know how many varieties there are, some have chrome handles and some 
don't.... some are straight and some are not.....    Some fit inside the 
filler neck and some don't... some have a flat piece as a stop and some have 
a cup shaped piece....  etc.  But, if your question is a concern over 
correct readings... at the next oil change (including filter), put in 
exactly 4 1/2 quarts.  Run the engine for a couple of minutes and shut it 
down.  After a couple more minutes - check the dipstick.  Oil level SHOULD 
be right on the full mark.  If not, you can either try another dip stick or 
just make a mental note of where "full" is on your existing dipstick.

Later, JR
