I'm filling up and I decide to check the oil
The truck is sitting with the nose downhill, so I'm thinking, if
anything it'll read too much oil. It's a front dipstick with a rear
sump, so I figured the oil would slosh foreward and show to be too full.
It was just the opposite. It showed 1 quart low(rechecked 3 times), but
I didn't add any. I went home to level ground to recheck it.
It was full, as always.
No big deal, I just think it's strange. Alan S.

Same thing on my 92 in my sloped driveway, Downhill reads low, Uphill reads
high, Go Figure!
