Dipstick 4 Weeks, 1 Day ago  
Where should the oil level be on the dipstick? I checked my oil and cold it was to the top of the indicator.

Nowhere .... it's not a good indicator of the amount of oil you have. You'll have a hard time getting the same reading at different times.

Drain oil ... add 4 qts. Leave it alone.

Even if you go through the ridiculous pre check ride, tilt, wait, check, you won't get a good reading.

Re:Dipstick 4 Weeks, 1 Day ago  
I agree!!!! I did the recommended test atleast 3 times in a row and never got a good read. But knew the guys on here would have the answer to solve the question. So when I changed oil I did the 4 quarts and ride with out worries....
