Dipsticks Lie!
I was at an insurance auction, looking at a totaled Jeep with the 4.0 6-cylinder.
A couple guys standing nearby casually mentioned: "Too bad there's not a drop of oil in it"
Pull the dipstick, and sure enough, it's bone dry.
But wait!
I have a Jeep with the 4.0. and the dipstick is a few inches longer than this one.
Scouting around, I snagged the dipstick from a different 4.0, and, yup, much longer.
Using the proper dipstick showed the oil level was full, and the oil even looked pretty clean.
Sneaky guys, swapping dipsticks, trying to scare other buyers away so they could pick it up cheap.
