Reply to "dip stick measures - got confused"

We should remember Mat posted this question because he had to replace the dipstick tube/pipe. As Julian initially pointed out, as long as the tube/pipe length duplicated the OEM tube/pipe length, the OEM dipstick markings would retain the same accuracy as with the stock tube/pipe.

it makes no difference if your engine has a stock oil pan, a 10 quart oil pan, or a 20 quart oil pan; if the dipstick tube and dipstick are still OEM or the same length of OEM, the correct oil level will still be what the dipstick markings indicate.

Filling to the “FULL” line with ANY oilpan will see your oil pan filled to the correct OEM level.
