You mention that you went with a heavier oil, what weight of oil are you running now? Are you sure the dipstick is the correct dipstick for the car?

This time around I am using 20W-50 Castrol High Mileage. Prior to the oil change I was using 5W30 same make through the past winter. Always replacing one one quart for the Lucas Oil Treatment. Well the Dip stick is the one I always come to know if its wrong it would have been from the Factory or someone that worked on the car made it change. I just remember the stick always had the swirl at the end of it that how I remember it. I wouldn't know if it is the correct one or not I just know that I been using the same stick since the beginning.
