Dipstick Tolerance
No not talking about my threshold for dealing with idiots ..... always wondered why I had to add a little more oil than I thought I needed. Well today I compared mine with Dave's as his car was sitting there, as you can see a fair difference.
Is this the difference between S4 and earlier?
As an aside I added a new hood pad with the Porsche shield.

I'm sure he had the top of the dipstick aligned as that is what determines the depth of the end of the stick...interesting..as Chris has always added more than 8 quarts with each fill..me..usually 8 on the nose...
interesting comparison...

From '86 MY yearly changes document
Oil Dipstick and Guide Tube
(All Engines)
The oil dipstick and corresponding guide tube are changed because of the 8 .5 mm higher toothed belt tensioner. At the same time the oil dipstick and guide tube are approx. 100 mm longer. This makes checking the oil level considerably easier.
Change was done in middle of '85 MY. PET lists engine number cut off points for all four engine types that were in production at the time.
