First off, let me start by saying: This is not a joke or scam. I need some info, and the first two people to post a picture will get $20 paypal'd to their account! Offer ends today.

Here's the deal:
I am building an oil pan for my track car and need to get an idea of how much oil is left in the pan while the engine is running. My engine is not running so I am looking to you guys. DE motor please, no HR's

Here's what I need:
-A standard oil level check, for a baseline (engine not running, after resting at least a hour since being run, on level ground, ect.)
Preferably it will be at the full mark or close to it.

-Next I need a dip stick reading, while the engine is warmed up, maybe driven for a while and STILL RUNNING. Hopefully this reading can be taken. You may have to pull the stick, wipe it, and then dip it and pull it out quickly, avoiding any splashing in the pan.
There is a chance the level will be low enough not to even register on the dip stick, that's okay. A PICTURE OF THIS READING WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

So there's the deal. If you're gonna take the Z or G out today, and are up to taking a couple measurements, post up some info and a picture of the dip stick level. First two people to post a picture, today, get $20

Tell op, you wont get the results youre looking for from a VQ35DE. The dipstick in these motors is worthless.

 

Excellent info from dphillips! Pretty much have what I need, but offer still stands for a second person.

 

While the motor is running its splashes oil up the dipstick tube, the pic you want will be dam near impossible to get.

 

After sitting overnight in my garage with level floor.

After running erands and parked in the same garage, and still running. Easier said than done..

And heres warmed up and turned off just for good measure.

 

My brother gave me a good tip for this. but basically you have to be fast and hope the entire dipstick isnt covered in oil. It came out just covered the first 10+ times I tried.

 

Great work, and thanks for the help! Not an easy task in any car, the Z makes it that much more fun.

The pictures agree with the info I got earlier, plus some educated guesswork, and now I have a better idea on where to place some of the baffling.

Thanks again for the help!

OkashiZ : if you haven't done so, PM me your paypal address.
