Cat C12 oil dip stick reference marks

zzzs Member Monaco Owners Club Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: claremont Posts: 38	Recently purchased a used rv with a cat 12 engine, while checking the oil level found 2 different sets of oil level reference marks on either side of the dip stick. one set is about 1" higher than the other. Any ideas? I would replace the oil and calibrate the dip stick except the oil is new and its 36 quarts to replace! zzzs __________________

Verify which side is correct at your next oil change. __________________ Tom, Cheryl & Blossom(coonhound mix) Formerly of Bellingham,WA'05 Winnebago Journey 36G.
