dont seam to stick to the dipstick.this sounds silly but i have been

Hi Chris
try having a look at the dipstick first thing in the morning before you have
had the car running. If you are parked on level ground then you should get a
true reading. If you can't see any oil on the dipstick then, that means that
either you don't have enough oil in the engine or the end of your dipstick
has fell off )
