Does no oil on dipstick mean no oil in engine?

It was a green truck, parked next to the yellow car, on Oak Street, facing pine street

 

That where Jabroni street intersects at the 5 way stop?

 

Thank you for the detailed instructions. Goes a long way!

 

You do realize they are being sarcastic. To properly answer your question, no, the motor is not out of oil. Engines typically take about 10-11 gallons and the stick will only show about 3 gallons. So if nothing on the stick, it should still have enough oil to run, but the bigger issue is, why is it using so much oil? It's possible a wrong stick, but I doubt it. How often do you check the oil? It should never go below the stick level.

 

Yes

 

I know! Haha. I was being sarcastic as well. Maybe it didn’t come off the right way.

 

If the oil level is below the dipstick just tap on the oil pan with a hammer to figure out the real level.

They make those dipsticks short so that the oil companies can make more profits

 

figure the add mark is a gallon low.

or it used to be.

 

The CDL exam should have this on the practical test.

I had a few applicants who could not figure out where the dipstick was, a bunch who could not read it and even a few who said "Where does this go? I can't remember where I took it out"

 

Don’t forget to check the blinker fluid aswell very important.
