    If it moves at all on the dipstick you are using oil. If it goes to the bottom mark that is one qt. If it goes down to half way between the marks that is 1/2 qt. shawn

    Well then, if we're gonna get all 'anal retentive' then let me rephrase

    I didn't want to admit this ... Y'all are gonna kill me.

    I change the oil religeously ... once a year. I've never had to add a quart between changes.

    If Y'all are starting to line up to give me virtual slaps, you may want to start another thread so this one doesn't get totally jacked.

    In my own defense ... that's the way I've always done it & I've always put about 200K miles on a vehicle before I retire it so I must be doing something right.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    I don't think I woulda told that on here.

    I can't wait to get the "Virtual Slap T4B" thread started!!!!!1
    Maybe we could sell virtual slaps for like .25 each....I'll betcha that would put Moncha over the monthly goal in a week.

    Back on topic, I checked my oil again today and I'm now about 1/2 qt. low in just 2800 miles.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
