Thats a loaded question I know. But in all earnest my newly rebuilt 200 had a oil pan that was not the same as the old motor. I found that by knocking out the litttle plug the dipstick and tube could be moved forward to hit the deep part of my old pan. My problem occurred when I went to remove the old tube and it sheared.
So with the pan off and the engine on the stand I have this question. Where should the oil come up to? The pickup is stained/marked at about halfway up and looks like a good indication. Yes I know another method would be to fill engine with proper amount of oil and remark the stick but would like to do it dry as the engine is still out of the car and don't wan't to hillbilly it to much.
Thank you for looking at my dipstick question. Clint
