4age 16v dipsticks

Postby blindnz » Sat Nov 07, 2009 11:29 am

So the 4age in my car has a different dipstick to my girlfriends 4age both are bigports. mine has a hard dipstick and hers has one of those soft thin ones.
My question is do i have the right dipstick, because when i filled it with oil it took quite a lot but i never actually took note of how much went in.
The car is also burning oil at high rpm and i think this could be the fact it has to much oil and its going through the rocker cover breather back into the intake.

I dont know aout the dipstick thing, but its common for bigports to burn oil at high RPM. Thay dont have an external oil drain from the head like smallports do. Basically they pump too much oil up to the head and it cant drain back fast enough.
