I was reading my manual and it stated that the dip stick on the 454 engine (it's on motorhome beachcraft 1987 model) was in error and chevy recommended to get the newer one. We were on a trip from New Orleans to Saratoga, New York. ON the return trip I notice a clacking and checked my oil and the dipstick just barely read oil in motor. When I pulled in to a campground that evening I pulled out my manual and read about the dipstick issue. The next morning I had my oil changed so that I could be sure I had 7 qts. in engine. At the time the guy that changed my oil said that I should be putting in 8 qts. since the 454 is a high performance engine. Would like to know if anyone has had problem with the dipstick and was the guy right about the amount of oil? |
