OK, OK, OK - you're right!

Lets go back to the old days and use the KISS method.

Pull out the dipstick (anytime the engine is not running) and take a reading. If the oil doesn't show up on the dipstick, add a quart of oil. If the level does show up anywhere on the dipstick, you're good to go. If the level shows over the full mark, don't worry about it (especially if it's a Ford) because the engine will either burn off or leak out the excess.

There ya have it, now just drive the fucking car and don't worry about it.


Oh my, it's ma med/pain killer pill time -
