Hello, done this more than once always the same result, seems the NiSSan engineers are were having one of their better days, yes you guessed it. What were they thinking with the design of the oil dipstick???? Everytime I check the oil I need seems like a hour to check the oil, whats left in the dipstick tube seems to stay there forever and either I am not inserting the dip stick in the correct orientation or I need a full hour to get a accurate oil check.

So what I need to know is, what is the proper dip stick orientation, I have a Nismo cold air intake other than that everything is stock in regards to the oil dipstick. NO matter how carefully I insert the dipstick I pickup oil off the dipstick tube, really do not always have a hour to check the oil, this in any other car usually takes maybe a couple of mins. So are there explicit insturctions with pics to show how this is done????

 

i check it in the morning, i kept thinking my oil level was low but really it wasnt...****

 

i feel your pain, thats why i dump in 5 quarts of texas gold and go home. i can't check it accurately to save my life. flame away if you must also.

 

Let it sit over night and check it first thing in the morning. Works every time for me

 

You don't have to check it with the stick. You got an oil level light that goes on once the oil level is low.

 

put the pipe down slowly, very slowly, very slowly, and back away from the pipe.....bad pipe........ no more roCks for you

 

Uh, no, that's an oil PRESSURE light. Once it goes on, you're most likely screwed. You are not exempt from checking your oil.

 

roflmao eliane that is the best advice ever. I can't figure out why I keep going through bearings and engines.

 

LOL@ light comment
my light flicked once and i was down like 2.5quarts of OIL
be aware people that these cars do burn oil!!
make sure to top it off once in a while

 

"smiles" your's came on at 2.5 down? You're a lucky man, most don't come on until empty. I was down over 3 and no light ever. New engine on the way.

i was driving spiritedly for 2 months and i didnt really check, i was due for an oil change soon
