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?

 

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

 

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.
