Rb30/25det dipstick accuracy

[thebe]

Hey

 

Got my 2,5year build up and running finally! Got a dyno tune set to next monday. I started to wonder if I can trust my dipstick?

 

Rb30 block

25det oil pan (original size, baffled though)

25det tube and dipstick

 

I think it should read correctly because the oil pan, tube and stick are from the same engine but just want to be sure.

 

I have fitted a ~30row oil cooler with an10 lines so that alone increases my oil capacity, but dunno how much so cant really use the capacity as a guide either

 

Thanks everyone

Yeah it will be fine. Having a baffled sump doesn't matter to the dipstick. Below low on the dipstick the oil is lower than optimal for the oil pick up, and above high it is close enough that it may come in contact with the crank.

Sweet thanks!
