what did you do to correct it? >>
Dont do it! You wont get an accurate reading while the engine has just

Hi Jim-
The first thing to do is not tighten it up so much. You'd be
surprised how little tightening needs to done on the dipstick. I
never worry too much about mine coming loose because my cowl will
prevent it from coming out completely, so I've experimented around
with leaving it looser and looser.
