What what is this dip stick think? I have never used it. I drain all the oil then I fill it with new oil 0w-40 until a little is running out of the filler cap. Then I crank it up when it quits spewing oil everywhere I know it has enough oil for the next two years. On average it takes 5 or 6 gallons of oil. I do this in the street because its messy. It will spit a few gallons on the ground.
Now if I could find out why my Mini runs so bad.........it must be that 0w-40 some old fart told me to use.:devil:-

I'd say change the oil and see where it is...That is where you should keep it.

Ow-40 is good stuff...tends to be a better oil group than 5w-40 or 5w-30 in my research...
I would use it with ZERO hesitation in a mini...other makes that have switched to 0w-20 like Honda...maybe not...but on a mini where 40w is listed as a suggestion.. Do it...
And buy the craven speeddipstick if you don't have one...-
