Oil guage lies?

[chitowndad]

I fixed my issue last night. I first tried siphoning oil through the dip stick and that didn't work (wasted $5 on a siphon pump).

So I raised the rear of the car and removed the oil filter. I had to restart the car and remove it 2x to get enough oil out. Now I'm within the range bars (2 ticks above the low setting) so the oil guage wasn't lieing after all. What was weird was when I took the car back to the guys the dip stick was within range but the guage said over filled but when I let it sit over night the dip stick said that it was too full.

So word to the wise, change the oil yourself!

Thanks for the tip Lil Bastard.
