Default Greddy Oil Pan = Cant get accurate reading on dipstick??

So I have one of those oil consuming 06 rev up engines, so Im paranoid about checking my oil...well ever since I got my greddy tt kit installed in Feb... I can never get an accurate reading on the dipstick, the oil is smeared all over after I wipe the stick clean and read the stick...

does anyone else have any probs? is it the greddy oil pan?

Its the crappy dip stick. It takes me 3-4 tries to get a good reading...regardless of oil pan or spacer used.

best time to check is in the morning, when the engine is bone cold....you'll always get a good reading.

my dip stick reads that I have 15 qt of oil, warm or cold. I have to do it about 12 times to get a proper reading. worst dipstick ever made. I believe they upgraded it for the 07.
