checking oil level

[dlaing]

The level was found to be at 17.5 mm higher than the max mark on the dipstick.

This is at 139 mm from the flange. This is the mark I use.

 

Pete Roper has done a lot of research on this topic. The 139 mm mark raises the oil level by a little over 12 mm higher from the dipstick max mark,

So, are 12 and 17.5 different because 12 is the verticle measurement of the oil and 17.5 is the measurement along the dipstick that goes in at an angle?

Thanks again for the research.

Exactly. It's a 45 degree angle, so the ratio is 0.7071 to 1.
