Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

So your dipstick shows that you have no oil? Where are you located?

Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

yes, my dipstick says i have no oil


i put in two quarts of oil an hour and a half ago, and it still reads bone dry

i have perfect oil pressure, my motor runs great, and my vtec even engages

im located in nebraska about an hour away from norfolk

Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

Well that is odd. Maybe you have something interfiering with stick?

Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

nothing that i can see or feel, dipstick goes down all the way with no interference

Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

Does the stick insert into the pan? If so, then I guess taking off the pan is something you may want to look into.

Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

just like any normal dipstick.. if i cant get anyone with a good idea of whats wrong i probably will drain and pull it

Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

The cost vs. the knowledge is nothing. Do a complet oil change and if it still shows nothing than look into pulling the pan or doing something more drastic. I believe the dipstick holder (at the block) is removable. Is it possible that the holder has slid up a little bit just enough to prevent the dipstick of going as deep as it needs to?

Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

i just did a complete oil change less then a week ago :( freakin stuff cost me over $40, im dirt poor right now so i wanna avoid haveing to do it again yet

i hadnt thought about the holder slideing up but i'll check that in the morning, it's -5 right now so i aint doin ---- outside untill tomorrow ;D

Re: figure this ish out!!!
 

Are you sure the dipstick is the right one for the motor? Has it always read fine before?
