Bob Smith says that it is common not to have an accurate dipstick read and that you should try to figure out where your level should be. B >>> "veiner@juno.com" <veiner@juno.com> 11/27/07 11:14 AM >>> This suggestion may be worthless but I'd like to share my experience. In 2002, I installed a rebuilt Lehman 120 in my Marine Trader. For 4 years, I had to continuously clean up oil in the drip pan, coming off the crankshaft behind the flywheel. The last time I changed oil, I carefully checked the dipstick after I added the new oil and filter, and ran the engine to get the lines and filter filled with oil. To my amazement, the dipstick indicated I was low 2 quarts. Somehow, my engine had the wrong dipstick (from a 135???). I rescored the dipstick and solved my oil leak problem. FWIW.
