? on Reading Dipstick

[xlr8nflorida]

I recently changed my oil. The dipstick is alot more difficult then on the LS1 or LT1's.

When I pull the dipstick, I'm at the A level of ADD so I am thinking I need about a quart is that accurate?

The thing that has me concerned is sometimes I get alot of oil on the backside, (much higher oil level mark on the back then the front - shows full) only some times is the oil the same on both sides of the stick and at the add mark.

I'm inserting the dipstick in fast, making sure I get it all the way in and then pulling the dipstick out quickly, pulling towards the wheel weatherstrippng and trying not to bump into anything, all while holding the dipstick in the down position.

Maybe its because of the angle of the dipstick tube and also if you have headers etc.

Does that happen to others with all the oil on the backside, higher level then the front?

I just don't want to overfill it. Today I started it up and I am going check it in morning. I guess if its on the Add on the front of the dipstick, I'll put in a quart?

I always check it cold, so all the oil can drain down.

Thanks.
