Man, that previous owner must have been a real DIPSTICK, eh Banshee? Reminds me of a soldier of mines wife in Germany. We were away from homestation and she decided to check the oil level in her Opal straight-six engine. She was never taught how to use a dipstick and she assumed oil needed to be added until one could see oil through the valve cover oil cap........I think she stopped at around 10 quarts realizing something wasn't right.
