Re: Oil Level question???
Hi samzx12 and welcome to the site.
I don't have a 5.4, but can speculate on what you are getting there. I'll bet the dipstick doesn't go straight down into the oil but more at an angle. To visualize, hold a pen or pencil at an angle in front of you. If you lowered that pencil into the oil, the "top" of the pencil would get a mark of oil as would the "bottom" of the pencil. The angle makes these marks diferent relative to the end of the pencil. The "top" mark is the "low" level and the "bottom" is your "high" reading. In a nutshell, whatever is the average or middle or difference (chose your word) is your "true" reading. HTH, and it is just my thought. Others with 5.4's will probably jump in. Hope I didn't ramble [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
