Thanks. I have tried a few seconds method as well and still cannot get a consistent reading. Even doing it very slowly so as to avoid creating a vacuum effect if it was plunged in and out quickly. It seems if I pull the dip stick out ever so slightly, put in and then pull out fully, it appears to be at max on the non etched side and occasionally the same on the etched side but not consistently. And bit of wicking on the top bulb - which could give the impression of over filling but probably not.

Even leaving it for 10mins does not seem to help either.

It should not have to be such a science experiment!

Any one heard of after market dip sticks that are better (.
