definitly not. once the oil gets ON the dipstick, it doesnt take much to move the level up

im good friends with the guy who rebuilt it...i helped too....i dont think a mistake like that could have been made....but shyte happens so you never know.

adder....so if i drain the front plug just a little bit and turn it back on and let it cycle....should my oil be about at the right level and my check oil light should go off??

the easiest way to drain a little bit of the oil is to take the filter off and let it drain out (from the filter)
