here's my problem, my dipstick is bone ------ dry.. but heres the twist, i have perfect oil pressure, no motor problems, and V-tec even engage's!!! WTF?!??
my car runs perfectly, i build boost perfectly, vtec engages, my pressure gauge reads perfect, i dont get it

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

Anubis_4_99

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

RJwaggs

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

Anubis_4_99

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

RJwaggs

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

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

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?

Anubis_4_99

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

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