I have a Great Plains 2180 VW engine. My dipstick does not have any empty or full lines on it and I believe it is a modified dipstick that the previous owner made so it could be removed without removing the cowling. Could someone do me a big favor and measure how far down the stick their empty and full lines are? I need a measurement from the top of the stick at the surface where it seats in the tube, not from the bottom end of the stick because I am not sure if mine is normal length.
I would just measure the amount of oil I put in and mark the stick myself, but I have an external filter and several feet of oil line so I am not sure of the correct oil amount for my engine.
