dipstick?

I've got an 88 civic hatch just got it, the dipstick has 2 circles on it. no gradiant marks or anything. where is the oil supposed to be? I don't want to overfill it.

Re: dipstick?

that's what I assumed, but it's a big area. I don't wanna mess things up, it's right at the first circle.

Re: dipstick?

So here's how this works. One mark is the low mark, and is the minimum amount of oil you should have. The other mark is the full mark. I'm sure you can figure out the rest. Consult your owner's manual if you need more information.

Re: dipstick?

When in doubt, do an oil change. Then you'll know exactly how much oil you've put in, and what that amount of oil looks like on the dipstick. If you're worried about it, it's the best 20 minutes you'll spend.
