I'm having trouble getting an accurate reading on my 8.1's dipstick. Every time I go to check the oil level, the stick comes up looking like it's over filled and it's stressing me out. I've read so much that this engine can burn 1-2q between oil changes & I'm not seeing any change. The truck is new to me & I had my mechanic go over every inch when I replaced the transfer case, everything came back great.
When I pull the stick out to check the level, there's considerable accumulation of oil for a good inch above the hash lines. My oil pressure reads right around 40 or a bit lower. The DIC says oil life is 70%
Any ideas? Or am I the dipstick?
