i bought my gsr like a month ago. ive had it in storage since then. i went to change my fluids today cause the guy said that it needed one when i bought it. when i checked the dipstick it didnt read that there was any oil at all. i drove it like 30 miles to school before i checked it and it was totally driving fine? whats up? thanks..

probably time to add some oil then, don't you think?

i highly doubt the dipstick is the problem

change your oil and fill it up to the "full" mark, usually a little over 4 quarts w/ filter

 

did you let it settle after you drove it? cause if not..then all the oil was still flowin around...

 

it should take no more than a minute for 98% of the oil to drain back, not enough to have no oil touching the dipstick

 

on my friends gsx the dipstick doesnt have a reading if its like a quart low.. do tegs do the same thing?

 

I believe on Hondas the distance between the two marks on the dipstick represents the change 1qt would make.
ie. if it's half way between the two marks, you need 1/2 qt.

 

You were probably just two quarts low. My Teg drinks oil. I don't think it burns it, because it doesn't have that Mitsubishi smell to it, but it does use it rather quickly for some reason. There's also no black smoke coming from the pipe.

Check for those things. Your best course of action is to do an oil change. Add 4 new quarts and change the filter, and monitor it. Check the oiul about every other day.
