Oil Dipstick Fill Level

[OhioCadet]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the fill level on my dipstick. As you can see in the attached pictures, the black rubber bumper and metal stopper cap can slide freely (up/down) on the dipstick. The issue is.. I cant tell how far down I should be pushing the dipstick before stopping to correctly measure the oil level. I can easily over/undershoot it by a lot since there's nothing stopping me from jamming it down until I hit the bottom of the oil pan. Can someone give me a measurement or reference point on the dipstick so I can estimate? It is a 109 with the stock K241. I also attached a picture with the part no. on the dipstick.

Thank you.

On your dipstick, those two little bumps (red arrows) are where the bottom of the rubber hickey sits.
The bump where the green arrow points is where the cap would be secured.

Just wondering where is that metal stopper at the bottom of rubber?

Hopefully it fell off outside the engine.

Luckily its still on there you just can't see it in the pictures. It slides all around by cannot go past the area that is split and wide on the dipstick to give it some friction inside the tube to prevent movement.

Thank you very much for the illustrated pictures. That is helpful for getting an accurate level.
