Reading oil level on the stick...
OK, this will seem like a stupid question but I have to ask. Gen 6 stock pan and stick. When checking the oil with engine at level one side of the stick says full and the other side has notch in it half way between F and L. The side of the stick that says F and L reads full and the other reads half. I understand why this is that way due to the angle of the stick striking the oil level. Think of how when reading a graduated cylinder with liquid you ignore the meniscus in your result. The oil climbs the stick as it would in a beaker more so on the side facing the oil pan bottom.
Which side of the stick did GM intend for us to read? I usually keep it saying half on one side and F on the other.
