Hello David
Put the oil somewhere onto the bottom half and monitor it. Use an awl and scratch a line.
You don't have to worry about it being precise. The level does go up and down a bit with expansion and contraction.
Be sure that you check it with the operating temp the same each time.
And return to your original topic post when you come back with more, don't start a fresh thread.
Keeps the thought processes all together for others to learn too!
happy coaching!

It is the right length and you fill where u removed the stick. 1/4 to 1/2 way up the stick is sufficient. |

David, there aren't any indicators on the "dipstick"?
Without further information I'd be worried that the bottom part of the dipstick broke off, especially if the dipstick is on a tube as opposed to the reservoir itself...

MC9's have a sight glass on the resivior to check
the fluid level. The cap on the fill tube is just
a swell plug. |
