My dipstick was wrong on my 97 ex and the one thing i can tell you from that experience is: DONT ADD OIL IF YOU DONT KNOW WHERE ITS AT!!!!
I bent a piston rod because my dipstick said **0** oil when i had 4 quarts in it. If you know its wrong then let it sit overnight. Maybe like 12 hrs or something like that so you can see whats up. I still have yet to find out what happened to mine and why the dipstick read like that, but i did oil changes every 3-5k and did all the scheduled maintenance so i know it wasnt me.
