Dipstick problems
Ok this may sound weird but I think my 88 7mgte has the wrong dipstick I just changed the oil and I put 4.4 quarts in it (that is the right capacity right?) And I see nothing on the dipstick. It may be because the dipstick is a brass color but there is oil on there just not a lot pn it when I wipe it off. just wondering if I had the oil capacity right before I bought a new dipstick

Witch style dip stick do you have? The flat kind with a hatched area that symbolizes the safe zone, or the "cable" one that has a thick tip to it, that is hatched?

Dipstick problem
I have the cable one. Idk which one goes to my model. But I know that there's not a lot of oil on it and I can't see the lvl at all with new oil in it. It does take 4.5 quarts rite

I usually put about 5 quarts in my NA, so a GTE will take a little more. The oil level is hard to see on the cable type, when you pull the dip stick out, lay it on a paper towel. That way you can see how far up the oil level is.
Hope this helps, good luck. |

Dipstick
Well I wonder why the chiltons manual says 4.5 quarts then. And u say u put 5 quarts in ur n/a so I wonder wat is the actual oil capacity for the 7mgte. In that case I need to add more oil
