# Improper Dipstick????

Posted by Brock (89 SE) on July 15, 2003 at 18:56:25: In my haynes auto manual, they call for 4.5 qrts of oil with a filter change.....I work at (dont laugh tooo hard) Jiffy Lube....I did my own oil change there, I made sure to drain it all and had a trusted friend add 3.75 qrts to start, I even let some fresh oil flush out the old before I put the drain plug back in...started it up checked for any leaks, shut it off and let the oil settle a little. Checked it and it was about a 1/4 OVER FILLED!... So 3.5, or did nissan make a mistake with their dipstick length? I know ford did for a few yrs. Replys: Yep, I get the same problem.... Will (93 4dsc) 19:40:24 7/15/2003 (0) Check your owner's manual. It is 4 1/8 quarts with filter change. n/m Pervis Anathema ('91 SE) 19:32:23 7/15/2003 (0)
