Default Re: Dipstick level

How nasty did the oil look when you drained it? Was it flowing or like syrup? If it was extremely "nasty" looking and smelling I would look at dropping the pan.
If your not going to drop the pan for a deep cleaning and the drained oil was just old, not like syrup I would just fill it to the "F" mark and drive it. If you overfill these babies they will leave a puddle until the level gets down closer to where it needs to be. Most of them drip even when the oil level is correct. They will run fine "between the marks". Just check the level often.
Welcome aboard and remember, "Enjoy the adventure"... Chap
