Re: b16a2 oil dipstick reading
are you using the right dipstick? no oil showing up after 4.5-5qts of oil? a dipstick thats too short wont be submerged into the oil pan enough to get a reading.

I agree, I think the dipstick is to short. There's no way 4 1/2 quarts of oil are not showing up on the correct dipstick, unless your leaving the drain plug out and its running out on the ground as you pour it in.

WOW that's very strange, i've never heard of this, try 1.8 ls or gs-r and see what happens.
You suppose to see oil on dipstick, unless your doing something wrong.
