I'm putting oil in my car...........I put in 8 qts since i have an 8 qt pan.........the dipstick reads nothing.....put in another qt....nothing.......another qt.........nothing........total of 10 qts of oil,,and no reading on the dipstick. Somebody please tell me what the hell is going on??????????? and yes the drain plug is in

 

Is the dipstick going into the tube right and into the block?

 

Drain the oil and see how much comes out. But before you do that stick a hanger inplace of the dipstick and see if it reads anything. Your dipstick may be to short. Stranger things have happened.

 

it's the same dipstick i've always used...........I don't know what the deal could be

 

Are you sure you openened the quarts of oil???

 

Did you just switch to a 8-quart oil pan?
That might explain dipstick being too short now.
Did the dipstick tube come partially out of its' hole in the oil pan flange?
Tube should be bolted to something so that doesn't happen.

 

gotta see how this one ends up.....

 

Still no clue guys,,,,,,,I don't know what the hell to do. I'm afraid to start my car.....
