help on water: oil level not right TR-1

Okay got it loud and clear :). I pulled oil out on the driveway and the dipstick is now happy, and I’m sorta happy… I’ll be happy once I get a few more consistent readings that all is well today when we head back to the lake for a do-over.

My fear was that there was something going on I didn’t understand since I controlled for oil volume. For example, can you get an air bubble or blockage or something that would prevent the oil from properly circulating? I didn’t know, I just ran up against something that didn’t make sense, so thank you all for the assurances and pointing me back to the basics.

Take oil and a Way to pull oil out with you today. Just in case. I used an irrigation syringe and an empty oil bottle to pull oil out.

No chance of an air bubble…

Like I said, it happened to me too but not as severe. Once I saw that ones guys plight is when I figured out what was going on.

I hope you don’t have to mess with anything today and you can just burn some fuel and enjoy the day.
