[h=3]Oil level[/h]I drained the oil from the oil pan via the drain plug that unscrews from the bottom/side of the pan (twin LM 318's) It was a slow process but in the end I only got 3 quarts out and there was nothing on the dipstick when reinserted. I have external dipsticks and they basically go down to the bottom of the pan?? I always though that the dipstick needed to go into the top of the pan for an accurate measurement? Last year when I used my oil extractor I only got 3 quarts out as well and when I added 3 the dipstick read full?? I have a 6 quart pan (no step). Any thoughts would be appreciated .
