[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3172111, member: 13624"] You kid, but on aircraft engines, the oil dipstick goes into a removable plastic tube that extends down to the crankcase. Those tubes are available in different lengths (as are the dipsticks), so using a shorter tube is a legit possibility. New/replacement dipsticks usually come unmarked so you can calibrate it to your particular engine/sump combination, particularly in the homebuilt/experimental world. [/QUOTE]
