    Extended dipstick????? That is absolute insanity! So your old SBC take five quarts, you go to check the oil and you get no reading on the dipstick, somehow you make a longer dipstick until you finally get a reading and you are satisfied but the oil pan only has one quart in it at this point...NOT GOOD. Am I outta the loop and missing something here or is this thread a joke?

    Whenever I respond to SOME posts I feel like a fool NO MATTER the day or month.
    I hope to God this is a joke.
    Cause I was about to buy a longer dip stick for all my vehicles!
    Could cut down significantly on my oil change costs!
    I’ll just squirrel away the savings for when the engine blows up!

    The reason for longer dipstick is not only to get appropriate reading at lower oil level, but also to raise oil level higher when you immerse the deeper dipstick in the oil puddle displacing the oil volume. it is a good solution if you want to save some money, or if you don't have more oil at the moment, or if you just don't have time or do not wish to add more oil.

    OMG this is hilarious! Well done 34:19, this truly is one of my favorite best April 1st joke I've heard so far (right behind the day a good friend tried to make me believe she was pregnant and I was the father. Another dipstick story I guess )

    You can get one on ebay. TEPHAK is right, displacing the oil just circulates less oil more often. Cheap skates love em so order one today!
