    Dipstick?

    The dipstick for my motor oil is twisted the whole length of it, is this normal? If its not supposed to be like that then it would throw off the oil reading......Thanks

    you might have the screw-in type. you have to tighten it all the way down to get an accurate reading. if it just keeps turning, it's probably stripped... common problem on the 2V 4.6.
