accord oil dipstick length

[lwlba]

what engine do you have heh?

an h22

 

[hahaha38]

The h22 cast pan is a little deeper. So It needs a longer dipstick. Both pans still hold the same amount of oil. Is your pan silver or black? Silver is a cast aluminum pan. Black is the normal steel pan.

it's black. so i guess it's the steel pan

 

[hahaha38]

So you would need the normal f23/f22 dip stick. The h22 dipstick will be too long and when it shows full you will actually be a qt low.

thing is, when i pour in 5 quarts of oil (recommended h22 amount), my dipstick shows too low. i'm not sure what the dipstick is from. I thought it was the oem one but guess i was wrong.
