Proper oil level help, please - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

AustinJohn · 07-09-2012

I'm pretty embarrassed to ask about reading a dipstick but as the result is so important will ask it nevertheless.

On my new-to-me '90 ZR-1 (formerly Hans Meyers jewel) I'm topping off the oil after my trip from California but as the ZR-1 dipstick with all it's curves is the most difficult to read dipstick I've ever encountered, want to be sure what I believe I am seeing is correct.

It appears I'm low as the level (other than a few drops I assume picked up as the dipstick is removed and replaced) as shown by the picture below is at the first "D" in "ADD". Am I correct? I sure don't want to overfill. Oil pressure runs steady at about 60.

Thanks a million!
