Dear Mr. Cookies,
I feel like I can’t get an accurate oil reading using the dipstick. No matter how I position it/insert it, it always comes out with oil all over the lower half, never in between the two dots like it should be. I always try and park flat overnight if I’m gonna check it. Is my shit crooked/always rubbing up against the sides or am I just an idiot?

I always try and park flat overnight if I’m gonna check it. Is my shit crooked/always rubbing up against the sides or am I just an idiot? Sir, Since you have decided to refuse my humble and polite request for year/make/model with all queries, I must either assume you have a Nissan product, or otherwise can only generalize. This is a common occurrence but generally you can still read the stick with a little practice. Make sure you wipe it spotlessly clean before you put it back in the tube to take your reading. If your dipstick has a bunch of bends and dips in it like a Krazy Straw, this can make things difficult but sometimes you have to try a few times before it's clear where your level is. You should not need to let the engine sit overnight to get an accurate reading. If you live in a hilly area, a minute on flat ground should get you an accurate reading. The kid I am training at the moment has a hell of a time with this, so it's not just you and it may be helpful to ask about this right when you get an oil change so you know the level should be exactly near the top of the range.

I work on alot of stationary generator sets with legacy gm vortec or ford industrial engines. The new fleet oil beads off the dipstick and makes it a real mfer to read. Usually gotta wipe it like crazy 2 or 3 times before I’m sure. Some of the 5w30 stuff nowadays is damn near invisible lol

by legacy GM Vortec do you mean like old MPFI 350s? Pretty much yeah. They run them with a performer type intake like the tbi version with natural gas. Some company called power solutions inc. still makes everything from the iron duke right up to an 8.8 depending on how much power you need. It’s really cool seeing them

So Vortec heads with a TBI? It's a good idea, as a Vortec 350 owner, those spider injectors get gummed up and that's pretty much the only real weakness of the engine. So are they rebuilding all this old stuff, like Jasper? edit: just saw you said natural gas, duh. Very cool!

All the old Gm casting numbers on the back of the block are gone now and replaced with hand stamped serial numbers. They’ve been a staple for a couple years. I just started seeing Kohler is supplying their units with a knockoff Chinese 350 with aluminum heads
