With the pan on the bench you should also check the dipstick length for correct reading to the amount of required oil in the system (photo below also)?

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. The OEM pan-to-screen clearance seems to be about 1/2" built-in as Ronnie mentioned above, anywhere between 3/8" and the 1/2" number is fine.
Gary, do you have a shop phone # to contact you about buying dipstick adapter kit? Thank you. Bill
