Guys I have a basic simple question. My XT dipstick says use SAE...motor oil but I see no add and full marks. I guess when I changed the oil twice so far I went by the manual numbers but today I noticed no marks for full. Are yours marked? Thanks, Dana

If nothing else Captain you can drain the oil then add it back by the book amount minus one quart. Use a center punch and mark the dipstick at that point. Than add the last quart and center punch that spot.

Yeah I will but was wondering if yours have marks or not? Maybe this is an aftermarket stik? My friend is coming over this am with a measurement from an original. Thanks!
