if its reading now you may have cloged galleries...see if there is a lot of oil sitting in your head. did you just recently buy the car or not change the oil often or change oils? all of these could mean there is sludge build up in the engine and it has broke loose and partially cloged the galleries

yeah i just bought the car recently, but i did an oil change as soon as i bought it, and i change my oil every 1500-2000 miles, this problem just popped up out of the blue, it was reading fine the day before and then all of a sudden i have a dry dip stick

did you change the oil yourself, or have some place do it? they could have pulled a "stupid ass retard highschool kid who doesn't know what the ---- he's doing, and put the wrong cars dipstick in there" just a thought.

Get a clean pan, and empty the oil into it. Measure the amount, then put it back in your engine. Then get back to us.


Wierd freaking problem.

i dont let mechanics touch my car unless i cant fix the problem myself first, i've only had to do it once, and that was because i needed to get a motor swapped over a weekend and didnt have the tools or time (i was in the process of moveing) otherwise i would have done that as well ;D

my new turbo gets here wednesday so i'll change the oil then or this weekend, whenever i get the time to install the new turbo
