from what you say-- you put in 4.5 litres of oil and it is just over 1/2 but you took out 7 litres , that would be just about right as the other 2.5 litres should make it full on the dip stick
there would be a problem if you took out 10 litres of oil but 6 litres filled it to the full line on the dipstick
Hi Collin:
You've asked a question, but not mentioned the problem.
If the handle brokr off and the blade slid down, the question should be, "How can I get the blade out?.
If that's not the problem, I'm not going to tell, and I'm not going to go and measure the dipstick in my old truck.
then you most likely need to add oil. Park on flat ground, locate your oil dipstick, remove, wipe it off, reinsert it completely, remove and check the level. if its still clean then you need to add oil
When you say oil blade, are you referring to the dip stick? Unless something has partially crushed the steel tube into which it slides, it should go back in. Was it unduly difficult to pull out? Has the stick itself become bent? This would hold true for either the transmission dip stick or the engine oil dipstick
You might try a slight twisting action as you try to insert the stick.
DO REMEMBER THIS: DON'T FORCE IT!
If all else fails, take it to your nearby full service filling station, or garage and let the mechanic take a look at it.
Milky substance on your dip stick indicates contamination in your engine oil, most likely coolant and that is an indication of head gasket, or intake gasket gone bad and coolant leaking into your oil system. Note that coolant in your engine oil is bad, coolant will corrode the internal engine's bearing causing you to replace or overhaul the engine. The engine not starting is most likely the result of being blown and will need to be replaced.
Thank you for using Fixya and god luck
No, absolutely not. Check the transmission fluid level with the transmission dip stick. The oil level dip stick may not be the same length and the markings are not the same. Overfilling a transmission may cause damage. Do not have one then you need to get one. What has happened have you lost it?
