I had to have my engine replaced because the timing chains seized the engine (previous threads I posted).
Got the car back. Runs great. But the dip stick is showing that I have too much oil. The oil is about an inch over the MAX mark.
So I drained it, changed the filter to a Motorcraft and added 5 qts 5w30 Pennzoil. Now it reads a bit higher oil level !
So I bought a new oil dip stick from Ford thinking the dip stick is the wrong one. NOPE - it doesn't fit - too long.
So I guess I am going to change the lower oil pan (Prev owner must have hit something this one is dented)
Anyone have this experience? Can someone tell me the correct part number for the dipstick?
