As the title says. When i pull the stick out the oil is only on one side of it and nothing on the other. When i put the stick in the other way round i get oil on the dry side (so its now on both sides).
Is it just mine that does this? As surely the stick is being dipped into a bath of oil and so it should show the same on both sides.

I had a ball ache checking mine on weds, there was barely any oil on the tip of the sick, so i chucked about half a litre in and its now over filled to the little notch above the max mark!
Gonna do an oil change on it, stick 4.5l of oil in and then just mark the stick at whatever it reads at i reckon...
