Gen6 checking oil on dipstick

I've been having trouble reading my oil level on my dipstick because of the way it is designed. There is a crink and therefore kinda smears above the highest dot. Does anyone else have this problem?

not at all. my dipstick stands erect. wipe off the premature fluids then check again. if that does not work, you might have to surgically replace your dipstick with a new one since the one you have remains flaccid.

if that is the case my friend...

what you need to do is break the hole in nice and slow. the vaginal walls (for lack of a better term), will be inpenetratable at first. if its your first time you have to pull it out slow or secretions will make your test results null and void. ease into the hole as it is still young and tight. take your time and make sure not to rush this process.

let nature takes its course. once you have a steady rhythm going, you can slide the dipstick in back and forth with an aggressive manner. try different positions when you are trying to do the deed. you may stumble upon a position that suits you right in which you can get a positive test result.

gotcha..

take it to the dealer



btw, i see you are from dallas. i still have debbie does dallas on betamax. i like the last scene in which mr. greenfield had intercourse with debbie. mr. greenfield was dressed up in his old football uniform and performed the deed with her. after the money shot, it flashed "touchdown" on the screen. that was a cute touch to a happy ending (pun intended)
