Hi Joe, not sure what you mean. So to "read" the actual oil level I need to squeeze the handle together and insert the stick? Like I said, if I leave it loose, oil is ejected out the hole. I thought to "read" the correct level the stick had to be loose (not squeezed and fully inserted?) Sorry for my confusion here....I just want to make sure I have the right amount of oil in the crank case.
