Dipstick

[Herbc]

On the W60 I’ve got this short dipstick with the marks close together. Any tips on making sure the oil is where it should be. The slant of the engine make any difference. ❓

The correct level is the higher of the two marks on the stick; the engine
slant is inconsequential.

Ok thats good.
Now I will try to make you laugh. Under Life’s little mysterys………..
when you pull the dipstick there is no oil, it is clean, put it back in and there’s the oil, more on one side than the other. Do I need to take a physics class or what.

I have a westerbeke 64 and also see a different level on each side of the
dipstick.
Unknown to me why that happens ..

And you will see that difference, depending on which side of the stick
comes in contact with the tube when you withdraw it, as a mechanic explained
to me when I posed the same question. The higher side reading is the correct
reading. If you experiment with your car engine, you’ll find the same is
true.
