So I changed my oil, first time in many years. This is for my Honda and there was some discussion about oil filters. I won't bring that up again.
What I have on my mind this time is dipsticks. For the life of me, after I put new oil in, ran the car, let everything settle, then tried to read the dipstick--I couldn't do it.
