Ok, another question this time regarding the engine oil dipstick in my ct322. When I got this unit this spring, the oil level showed over full by what looked like about 2 qts. I thought maybe it was over filled and drained it down to the full line. When i recently did an oil change, i put 9.5 qts in it like the capacity specs say (changed filter also) and it is right back to looking like it's about 2 qts over.
My question is, I see by the parts breakdown that there are 2 dipsticks depending on engine s/n. According to my engine s/n I should have the later dipstick in that engine. However, it is a replacement engine so I wonder if the original dipstick was put in the new engine and I now have the wrong dipstick.
Does anybody know how to tell the difference between the 2 dipsticks, especially maybe if there is a length difference for some reason that is throwing off my oil level reading??
I don't know how to tell what dipstick I have. The one I have is twisted cable with the dipstick itself on about the last 2 inches only.
