5.0 dipstick and tube Reply #1 – July 27, 2012, 08:50:10 PM Cut the dipstick down and re-mark it. If the oil is good now, proper level, then scribe a line in the newly cut down version. You can also cut the tube down easily with a Dremel. Quote Selected

5.0 dipstick and tube Reply #11 – July 30, 2012, 10:57:17 PM From what I have found, you are best off to start from a fresh fill and mark the dipstick. The 5.0 is notorious for not being accurate. That goes for a 'stock' one or a replacement from something else. Typically the 5 quart mark is way up the dipstick past the hashmarks. Quote Selected
