What I do is ... drain the oil and change the filter. Install the filter and fill the motor with the correct amount of oil ..depending upon the size of your pan ... then install the tube and put the dipstick in ... read what it measures and cut the tube until it reads on the full mark .. I can measure it for you if you want .. but who knows if the dipstick matchs the tube ??
