[Tigers] Dipstick and oil level report

[Ron Fraser]

Update
 
With the oil pan level
10 qts - level is at the rear main seal lip of the oil pan
 
Tilted 2 degrees down at front of engine - fluid level to oil pick up screen
relationship
 
1pt - level is below the dipstick - just getting the oil pick up screen wet
1Qt -  level is about 1/8" on the dipstick - covers about 2/3 of the oil
pick up screen
3pt - level is about 1/4" on the dipstick - covers about 3/4 of the screen
2Qt - level is about 1/8" below ADD line - oil pick up screen assembly is
just covered
5pt - level is about 1/16" above ADD line - oil pick up screen assembly is
covered
3Qt - level is about 1/16" above the Mid Line
 
This indicates that if you have a similar engine angle situation you better
start think about an oil change if the dipstick oil level read between the
ADD line and the Mid line.  You are at the 2 to 3 Qts oil in the sump.  You
definitely need an oil add or change if the oil level reading is near the
ADD line meaning about 2 Qts oil in the sump.
