Dip Sticks

[Ted in NE-OH]

Are all of the engine oil dip sticks the same for the B, C, CA. Some dip sticks I see have only one line , is that full or the add line.?

I use it as the full line.

Hi Ted. My Model C Operators Manual ( form TPL-124H ) states; "Capacity 4 quarts. Maintain oil level to [u:5c930bdbad]full mark[/u:5c930bdbad] on oil gauge rod." It has a single line on the stick. I think you would be safe to assume the same for the Model B since they share the same engine. Don't know about the CA.

Dipsticks with 2 lines refer to minimum and maximum levels or add and full levels. Oil registering between the 2 lines usually refers to 'safe' levels. This is pretty much universal.

Hope this helps.
