[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 11296, member: 307"] Old Machinnist is right. The dipstick is in a tube coming off the oil pan, when the motor runs air gets thrown into the tube and the seal on the dipstick prevents the air from escapin out the top. Therefore the oil can not enter the bottom of the tube and the dipstick reading is inaccurate. This is common on any engine with the dipstick in a tube or pipe off the side of the oil pan, my 853 and 553 always do the same thing. Pull the stick, give it a few seconds and check the level.
